Victoria Panova takes part in BRICS People’s Forum in Brazil

The BRICS People’s Forum, a leading international platform for BRICS Civil Track, has opened in Rio de Janeiro. It brings together experts, researchers, and public figures to discuss critical issues of global development.

Victoria Panova, Head of the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, Vice Rector at HSE University, and Sherpa of Russia in W20 (Women's Twenty), is participating in the forum.

The event's programme addresses a broad range of topics, from the role of BRICS in the emerging multipolar order to the future of global governance. Plenary sessions and thematic discussions will cover the modernisation of global governance mechanisms and BRICS's engagement in these processes, new geopolitical configurations and systemic challenges, and the role of civil society, expert communities, and trade unions in strengthening cooperation among the BRICS nations.

Representatives from Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and other Global South nations are taking part in the forum sessions.

A Strategic Session of the Civil BRICS Council was held in Moscow on November 17–18, where experts from the BRICS countries aligned on key topics for discussion in Rio de Janeiro and developed a shared agenda.

The Civil BRICS Council was established in 2024 at the Kazan Summit on the initiative of the BRICS Expert Council-Russia and partners from the BRICS nations. It now serves as the institutional foundation for the Civil BRICS Track, with its main annual platform being the BRICS Civil Forum.
