Responsible for 42% of global food production, BRICS countries are joining forces to combat hunger, tackle the climate crisis and promote sustainable agriculture. Initiatives by India, Ethiopia, and Brasil show that cooperation and public policies are efficient paths towards food sovereignty.
Information and Communication Technology work this week (April 2-3) focused on preparing the “Green Digital Action” seminar and adjusting the priority pillars towards the declaration that member countries’ Communications ministers will sign in June.
BRICS ministers met at the Itamaraty Palace to complete the text which will be presented to heads of State at the Summit in July. Brasil's Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Marina Silva highlighted that Global South countries are “essential to the balance of the planet.”
The group argues that combating climate change requires coordinated actions, adequate resources, and commitment to sustainable social development in the Global South.
