As climate shocks intensify across emerging economies, BRICS is repositioning environmental resilience from a secondary concern to a core strategic priority. This strategic intelligence brief explores how the bloc is developing alternative models of climate adaptation and sustainable development, placing South–South cooperation and development finance at the centre of its agenda.
The report examines the growing frequency of climate-induced disasters across BRICS countries, the limitations of existing global climate frameworks, and the expanding role of the New Development Bank in financing resilient infrastructure. It highlights how the bloc’s expansion and its large population base are pushing environmental resilience into the heart of economic and security planning. Scenario forecasts assess whether BRICS can emerge as a global leader in adaptation finance or remain constrained by coordination gaps and geopolitical divisions.
For policymakers, investors, and geopolitical analysts, this brief provides a forward-looking assessment of how BRICS could reshape climate resilience strategies across the Global South.
