Brazil and Global Leadership: On the path to the BRICS and COP 30 – 2025 Besides the G20, whose Leaders’ Summit took place on the 18 and 19th, in addition, Brasil prepares for two other important presidencies: BRICS and COP30. The debates and agreements already approved will be those that base future advancement.
The Leaders’ Summit in Rio de Janeiro crowned the year-long process that had been sewing agendas, discussions, agreements, and consensuses into one piece that should fall with the release of the Leaders’ Declaration at the end on 18-19th of 2024.
Throughout these processes, Brasil has successfully come out with significant advances on so many critical issues, some of which include combating hunger, climate change, and reducing inequalities.
One of the major achievements is the creation of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty. This is an appeal to all countries to unite in the struggle against one of the gravest global problems of today. In this way, the Brazilian proposal tries to bring together resources and strategies for fighting food insecurity, mainly in developing countries-a true milestone within the international agenda for solidarity.
BRICS AND COP IN 2025
In 2025, Brasil will assume the presidency of the BRICS, an expanded bloc with the participation of Saudi Arabia, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Ethiopia, joining the original members: Brasil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Some of the priorities of the Brasil G20 presidency, such as global governance reform and energy transitions, are on the agenda. The New Development Bank – the BRICS Bank – will have a basic role in financing, on one hand, the process of energy transition in the countries of the Global South and, on the other, orienting resources toward infrastructures that support digitalization and decarbonization of the productive energy mixes. Brasil already sets a good example for the entire world thanks to the energy mix with renewable sources. The Presidency of the COP30 will, therefore, be an opportunity for consolidating the advances obtained up until now, confirming, by means of the whole world, the commitment to reductions of emissions and climate adaptation.
