"At present, collaboration in the field of environmental protection serves as a vital bridge for fostering respectful international dialogue.
In partnership with the Russian Foreign Ministry and under the auspices of UN programmes, we are witnessing the fruitful development of expert cooperation among representatives from all BRICS nations. This initiative commenced during the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in March, continued as we prepared for the Rio de Janeiro Declaration of the BRICS nations approved in July, and we are optimistic about its success at the upcoming 30th anniversary Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, set to take place in Belém, Brazil, this November," the expert noted.
Sergey Rybakov also emphasised that environmental protection remains a top priority on the BRICS agenda.
"Environmental concerns hold a special position within the BRICS agenda. The group’s member nations encompass a third of the Earth’s surface and are home to nearly half of the global population. We greatly value and appreciate the trust placed in us by HSE University, which has allowed us to represent civil society within the BRICS Expert Council-Russia for two consecutive years," he concluded.
