The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the capacity of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS countries) to reshape global climate governance and explore areas for mutual cooperation. With a combined population of nearly 40% of the world, these countries play a crucial role in global efforts to address climate change, including Agenda 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Agreement. While the pandemic initially seemed to have little direct connection to BRICS policies on climate change, it has nonetheless influenced the pace and nature of climate action due to the loss of human and financial capital.

In this book, the authors examine this correlation and raise awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic's impacts and potential solutions on BRICS climate strategies. Drawing on case studies from each country, they explore how the pandemic has affected climate data, policymaking, and implementation. Through examples from urban governance, energy transition strategy, foreign investment, and other areas, the authors illustrate both the negative and positive effects of COVID-19 on climate action and draw broader conclusions about the long-term climate policies that may be implemented.

This volume is of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental politics and governance, and global development studies. It provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by BRICS countries in the wake of the pandemic and offers valuable lessons for policymakers and practitioners working in these fields.
