As climate negotiations intensify, the BRICS nations and the wider Global South are promoting alternative methods for climate action.

As climate negotiations intensify, BRICS nations and the broader Global South are advancing alternative approaches to climate action. From China’s infrastructure investments and India’s energy transition to Africa’s push for climate justice, these emerging powers are reshaping global climate politics.
