As a group of leading emerging economies, the BRICS partnership consisting of Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa has embarked on new policy pathways to exploit potential and new opportunities for economic and sustainable development. BRICS is gaining international importance, not only because its land area is more than a quarter of that of the world and because almost half of the world’s population lives in its territories, but also because of its ever-growing share in the world economy. Although economic development may be at the heart of the BRICS partnership, environmental protection and climate change prevention are topics that have been on the agenda of BRICS since its formal inception in 2009. Having recognised that “climate change is one of the global threats challenging the livelihood of communities and countries”, BRICS aims at a constructive dialogue on how to deal with climate change based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. This article intends to shed some light on the development and climate change policy of BRICS from a predominantly southern African perspective.
