BRICS' climate leadership aims hang on healing deep divides

The BRICS nations are strategically positioned to take on a pivotal role in shaping climate policy this year, as the United States retracts from international climate initiatives and focuses on domestic priorities. Building on recent successes at United Nations nature talks, these countries face the challenge of navigating complex political landscapes and overcoming persistent financial disagreements.

BRICS demonstrated their influence by presenting a draft text that facilitated agreement during Februaryโ€™s #COP16 talks in Rome, potentially unlocking substantial funding to combat ecosystem degradation.

South Africaโ€™s deputy minister of forestry, fisheries, and the environment, Narend Singh, emphasised the impact of BRICSโ€™ unified stance, stating that it will shape future discussions across various platforms. As South Africa commands the G20 presidency and Brazil prepares to host the #COP30 climate talks, the bloc aims to assert its influence further.

"Now #BRICS has been able to come together in this fashion, it will influence our discussions in other platforms going forward," Narend Singh stated.


Maria Angelica Ikeda, Brazilโ€™s chief negotiator at COP16, highlighted BRICSโ€™ role in filling a pivotal space in multilateral negotiations. COP16 President Susana Muhamad from Colombia described BRICS nations as "bridge builders," striving to balance representation of the Global South against the backdrop of emerging far-right governments in the U.S., Italy, and Argentina.

HSEโ€™s education observatory establishes research network across all BRICS countries

The International Education Observatory initiative, launched by HSE University to focus on expert evaluation, analytics, and joint scientific research, has successfully completed the formation of a research network across BRICS nations. South Africa was the final link, with the University of Pretoria and the University of the Witwatersrand joining experts from Russia, China, India, and Brazil.

This initiative functions as an analytical centre, examining educational practices in #BRICS countries and offering recommendations for improvement. Unlike many research projects that primarily focus on European and American educational models, the Education Observatory considers the unique characteristics of emerging economies, which collectively account for over 40% of the worldโ€™s population.

"This is a major story, covering analytics, expert assessments, and research on education across all levels in BRICS countries. We have agreed that in 2025, we will start with the topic of TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training). This is one of the most complex areas, as there is no single global equivalent to vocational education systems," explained Evgeniy Terentev, Director of the HSE Institute of Education.


Comparative analysis has already highlighted some fascinating differences among BRICS countries. For example, China and India each have populations of approximately 1.5 billion, yet India has eight times more schools. India prioritises accessibility, establishing schools in nearly every village to maximise reach. China, on the other hand, focuses on consolidation, developing larger educational centres for more efficient management.

Brazil leads BRICS in tackling inequality-related diseases

Brazil, under its chairship, has proposed a unified agenda for BRICS to address socially driven diseases like tuberculosis and child diarrhea, which disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. The plan includes collaboration in research, vaccine production, and multi-sectoral policies inspired by the Programa Brasil Saudรกvel.

Health cooperation has been pivotal in BRICS discussions, emphasising human and social development. During Brazil's chairship, the bloc will present initiatives to eradicate socially determined diseases and infections (SDD) and neglected tropical diseases (NTD).

Alexandre Ghisleni, Head of the Special Advisory on International Affairs at Brasilโ€™s Ministry of Health, pointed out that the initiative builds on successful precedents. He described how domestic efforts, like the Bolsa Famรญlia programme, have reduced tuberculosis cases by up to 40%, and serve as a blueprint for similar initiatives in countries like India.

#BRICS encompasses approximately 48.5% of the global population and 39% of world GDP. Ghisleni underscored the bloc's substantial geopolitical influence and suggested that health collaboration could become a model for other nations.

"We want cooperation on health issues to benefit not only member countries but also help improve treatment for these diseases in multilateral forums like the #UN and the #WHO," he stated.

๐ŸŒ BRICS gives hope that Global South countries develop "the right way," an economist says

Today, BRICS is an organization that can promote trade and economic development in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and even Europe, Dr. Hod Anyigba, Chief Economist at ITUC-Africa and the Executive Director of its Africa Labour Research and Education Institute (ALREI), told Sputnik Africa.

The IMF, the World Bank, and the developed countries "have taken on the responsibility of developing the entire world," but BRICS represents an alternative to this status quo, the expert said on the sidelines of the 57th session of the ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.

Along with the development of trade, this concerns the question of investment and financing, "so that we don't take some loans that we'll have to pay for a hundred years," he said.

๐Ÿ—ฃ"This will be the way to develop as we should, because Africa, Asia, all of us, we must develop the right way, as it should be, not as developed countries, for example, want," he stressed.

Brazil proposes BRICS to use blockchain to enhance co-operation

Brazil has launched an initiative to propose that BRICS countries use blockchain technology to facilitate trade and financial transactions.

Brazil's Central Bank and Ministry of Finance are developing the initiative, which is expected to be presented in July 2025 at the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro. It is expected that the use of blockchain will help reduce dependence on the dollar and strengthen economic cooperation within BRICS.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has previously emphasised the need to create alternative financial settlement mechanisms for #BRICS. He explained that "this is not about replacing national currencies", but about integrating the idea of building a multipolar world into the international financial system.

Jakarta to host Russiaโ€“Indonesia Business Forum

๐Ÿ—“14-15 April
๐Ÿ“The forum will take place on the sidelines of the 13th meeting of the Russian-Indonesian Joint Commission on Trade, Economic, and Technical Cooperation.
"This year, we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries, and we are also accepting Indonesia into BRICS, which is evidence of the dynamic development of cooperation between our countries. The Russian-Indonesian business dialogue has every chance of attaining a new level. Moreover, we are on the verge of signing an agreement on a free trade zone between the Eurasian Economic Union and Indonesia",

said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the Russian President.

The co-organizers of the Forum are the Roscongress Foundation under the Roscongress International brand and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN).

โ€œIndonesia is a promising destination for Russian exports. It is the main economy of Southeast Asia, and the countryโ€™s accession to BRICS further strengthens its position on the world stage. Now is the time for Russian businesses to enter the Indonesian market, using all available tools and opportunities. In Jakarta, with the support of the Russian Export Center, companies will present a wide range of products and solutions: from food products to information technologies,โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Iran-US nuclear talks: Washington "would have to respect Iran's sovereignty and interests rather than trying to bully it," says an expert

๐Ÿ—ฃ โ€œIran's willingness to negotiate on the nuclear issue may be a starting point for dialogue, what I may refer to as testing the waters,โ€ Dr. Darlington Ngoni Mahuku, a lecturer in the Department of Peace and Governance at Bindura University of Science Education, Zimbabwe, told Sputnik Africa, noting that significant challenges remain.

Dr. Mahuku argued that โ€œany potential bargaining will still be embedded in the historical power dynamics between the two states [...] Iran is accepting dialogue and participating in the negotiations with wide-open eyes, especially given that they may interpret this as some kind of geopolitical maneuvering,โ€ he explained.

The expert also highlighted the role of BRICS nations in counterbalancing Western military alliances and promoting alternative security frameworks. โ€œThese countries are gradually asserting their independence and sovereignty, seeking to provide a multipolar world order,โ€ he said.

๐Ÿ—ฃ โ€œThey have become key players in shaping alternative security architectures by fostering closer economic, political, and security partnerships or alliances. BRICS nations can effectively counterbalance Western influence and promote a more inclusive and representative global governance architecture,โ€ Dr. Mahuku added.

He further emphasized the potential impact of BRICS expansion on the Global South. โ€œAn expanded BRICS grouping could provide a more robust political and economic platform for promoting South-South cooperation, as espoused by dependency scholars or dependency theorists,โ€ he said. โ€œThis will challenge the global North's dominance, fostering a more equitable world order.โ€
