BRICS 2026: The Rise of a Global South Climate Vanguard

Climate change has moved from the margins of diplomacy to the centre of global power politics—and BRICS 2026 is where this shift consolidates. This Global Eye Intelligence report examines how BRICS is emerging as a climate vanguard for the Global South by integrating sustainability with development, green finance, and long-term economic resilience.

The analysis explains why BRICS is rejecting one-size-fits-all climate prescriptions in favour of a development-first approach that balances emissions responsibility with growth imperatives. It maps how climate action is being linked to energy security, industrial policy, supply-chain resilience, and climate finance reform—particularly through the expanding role of development finance institutions and South–South technology transfer.

Covering institutional dynamics, political economy constraints, and scenario pathways, the report evaluates whether BRICS can translate coordination into execution or risk fragmentation as climate pressures intensify. It highlights the strategic importance of climate equity, alternative financing mechanisms, and multipolar governance norms in reshaping global climate leadership beyond Western-centric models.

For policymakers, investors, sustainability leaders, and geopolitical analysts, this report offers early clarity on where climate governance is heading—and who will shape it. Those who follow Global Eye Intelligence gain foresight before today’s climate negotiations harden into tomorrow’s global rules, positioning themselves ahead of policy shifts, capital flows, and the next phase of Global South leadership.
