BRICS Climate and Energy Policy

BRICS Climate and Energy Policy topic image

BRICS climate and energy policy brings together the group’s positions on emissions reduction, energy access, and development.

It supports nationally tailored transitions that recognize continued fossil-fuel use in emerging economies while also promoting solar power, hydrogen, nuclear energy, grids, storage, and electric mobility. Cooperation on critical minerals and clean-technology supply chains is tied to energy security and industrial development. The agenda also addresses adaptation, resilient infrastructure, climate finance, and trade measures such as carbon border adjustments, which BRICS has opposed as potentially burdensome for developing economies.
