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

The Brics group convenes in Brazil to address global challenges as the US retreats from its international role. The summit serves as a precursor to the Belem Cop30 UN climate conference and directly critiques wealthier nations that have withdrawn aid and escalated military tensions. Brazilian President Lula articulated the stark reality of declining multilateralism, emphasizing threats to climate and trade regimes. Rising military actions, particularly against Iran, highlight an urgent need for change, as the Brics alliance seeks to reshape global governance towards a multipolar system.
The summit of the Brics group of nations at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rio de Janeiro serves as both a preparation for the upcoming Belem Cop30 UN climate conference and a response to wealthier nations' regressive actions.
Lula warned that eighty years after the defeat of fascism, multilateralism faces unprecedented collapse with advancing threats to climate and trade regimes.
