The Green Economy and the BRICS Countries: Bringing Them Together

This research paper examines the development of green economies within the BRICS nations, analyzing how individual national economic priorities and policy approaches have led to varying levels of adoption and skepticism toward green growth.

• The BRICS countries have adopted diverse approaches to developing green economies, with outcomes varying based on each nation's overarching economic development objectives. While some members have actively implemented policies to support a green economy, others remain skeptical regarding the economic transformation resulting from the allocation of resources toward such goals.
• For the BRICS countries to fully commit to a green economy, the objectives of this transformation must be strategically aligned with their broader economic development agendas. Furthermore, policymakers must reach a consensus on the specific economic development outcomes desired to create cohesive coordinating policies.
