Overview

This book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of how BRICS countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, are addressing climate change through policy innovation, technological progress and collaborative governance. With contributions from academics in environmental science, education, marketing, energy and agriculture, the volume examines the link between climate and development in the Global South. The book opens with chapters on land use, agricultural practices and food systems, then moves on to discuss sustainable finance, disaster resilience, energy cooperation and education for sustainable development. The final chapters assess consumer behaviour, sustainable marketing strategies and circular economy practices within the BRICS context.   Using country-specific case studies and comparative analysis, this book highlights the importance of local responses to climate change, inclusive economic models and the role of developing nations in shaping global climate governance. It calls for stronger policy alignment, cross-border collaboration and context-sensitive knowledge creation and is a timely addition to climate scholarship. An invaluable resource for  researchers, policymakers, postgraduate students and development practitioners who seek to understand how emerging economies can move towards low-carbon and resilient futures.
