Brics summit in Brazil tries to reinvent collective approach to world’s problems | Jonathan Watts

AThe United States retreated from the international theater, and the most powerful political alliance in the global south Brazil This week to try to revive and re -invent a collective approach to the problems of the world.

The BRICS conference opened on Sunday, Luiz Inácio LULA DA Silva clarified the wonderful global scenario. “We have witnessed an unparalleled collapse of pluralism,” the Brazilian president told “Leaders” eighty years after the defeat of fascism and the establishment of the United Nations. “The progressive progress, such as climate and commercial systems, are threatened.” He warned that the autonomy of the Brexes Group is facing a challenge.

Donald Trump has slapped a major tariff for many BRICS countries and threatened higher sanctions if the group continues to search for alternatives to the dollar’s use of international trade.

Military tensions rise. The United States launched multiple missile attacks on One Brics Nation, Iran, which it had been condemned, without “the genocide that Israel carried out in Gaza”, the attack on Ukraine (by Russia, a founder of a member of the BRICS) and NATO decision to deduct 5 % of the gross domestic product of military spending. “It is always easier to invest in war more than peace,” he said. “Fear of a nuclear disaster has returned to daily life.”

Brazilian diplomats see the BRICS Alliance as part of a new emerging global system. With Trump pushed the expectations “America first” more isolated, they see an opportunity to dominate the great powers to make room for the global regime more fair.

In theory, the assembly of the BRICS must have the weight to lead the changes. The 11 complete members represent 40 % of the world’s population and the economy, and more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions – on all these charges, providing them with the G7 group of the richest world, ideological capitalists, most of them from the global north. But the BRICS countries are divided and unbalanced. China has almost the same gross domestic product and CO₂ Directing is like all other BRICS members combined.

Hence the dismay came when President Xi Jinping refused to attend the talks in Rio this week. His first show was not explained at the top of the Brexes, Speculation of speculation China’s enthusiasm for the organization may shrink.

“It has become more difficult since the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” said Oliver Stinkel, an assistant professor at the Faculty of International Relations at the Fodaio Gotolio Vargas (FGV) in São Paulo.

Vladimir Putin has almost apparently joined the International Criminal Court for his arrest. The other prominent absenteeism was the President of Egypt, Abd al -Fahia al -Sisi and the Iranian President, Masoud Bouchakian, who was to attend the summit in front of the American and Israeli attacks on his country in June, and was carried out by the Foreign Minister.

Analysts said that Brazil does not want to appear on the Trump radar or giving other countries before COP30. “There was a general feeling of” let’s maintain this low key as possible. “Brazil sees COP30 the most important meeting this year. I have identified climate change as a topic where it can play a leading role. “

The Brex Bloc sees itself as a voice for the south, and it is Suffering inappropriately from the climate crisis. This provides a strong incentive to try to re -engage the richer parts of the world in a multilateral approach to a common problem. The group was credited with a positive role in the Paris Agreement 10 years ago.

Before the conference, Greenpeace urged the BRICS leaders to fill in the United States’s climate leadership vacuum. “This is an earthquake opportunity to lead the bold southern collaborative global leadership. The BRICS countries, many of which are among the most hinders, should take at this moment and take a decisive position for people and the planet,” said Cárcamo of Greenpeace Brazil.

In their announcement, the leaders expressed their support for polygamy to address the climate threat and resolve unity to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. They called for “it can be accessed in time and at reasonable prices” to ensure a fair energy transition. They welcomed Brazil’s plans to launch a COP30 box with the aim of securing long -term financing to save. Who will be paid still mysterious. “We have encouraged the potential countries for donors to announce ambitious contributions,” the statement said. According to what was reported, Brazil was asked by China and Prax from the member states of the Middle East to be among the seed financiers. But the largest part of the money from the northern northern countries is expected to come, which is the most blame for the climate crisis.

There was also a decline against the European Union. The statement expressed his regret for the “discriminatory protection measures under the pretext of environmental fears”, such as carbon boundaries and moves to encourage trade-free trade from forest removal-both of which are promoted by the European Union. There was no mention of a schedule for gradual disposal of oil, coal and gas. Instead, the statement admitted that “fossil fuels will continue to play an important role in the world’s energy mix.” The BRICS now includes many of the largest oil and gas producers in the world, although it is still behind the Group of Seven – especially the United States of America, Canada and Australia – when it comes to Plans to increase production.

The most uniform bixrs appear in their frustration according to double standards and exclusion practices. The rewriting global rules of governance is the main goal of Brazil, which called for the United Nations reform to make it “more democratic, active, effective and effective” and increase the representation of developing countries in major decision -making bodies. This was a high degree of the BRICS agend for many years, and is partially in line with the recent invitations by scientists and civil society groups for their behavior from the United Nations structures, especially in the climate process, which last year criticized as transgression by fossil fuel pressure groups and “does not fit the purpose.”

But if this week’s summit is any sign, there is little appetite for accountability or transparency inside the Brexes. On the first day, the arrival of the media to the national delegations was strongly restricted. Civil society groups were absent, and may be deterred by ranks of military vehicles equipped with water cannons and hundreds of forces in the closed streets, carrying offensive rifles.

Brazil, which has always been a large hero of multi -party, has reached cracks inside and outside the conference this week, but will face a large COP30 gap in November. Preparatory conversations In Bonn Last month, he was unprecedented because of money because the European Union and other wealthy countries refused to compensate for the lost climatic funds left by the United States. It seems that this issue – and expanding the war zones – is likely to chase the gathering in Belim, when it leaves the world south wondering whether the new world order is an opportunity or illusion.
