TREE NEWS update: BRICS leaders adopted the New Delhi Declaration at their 18th summit, reaffirming multilateralism and urging all parties to the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement to maintain and increase climate efforts. The declaration opposes unilateral, punitive, discriminatory and protectionist measures, including carbon border adjustment mechanisms, and voices concern over their impact on developing countries. It fully supports China hosting the 19th BRICS summit in 2027.
BRICS New Delhi Declaration Backs China as 2027 Chair, Slams Carbon Border Measures
AI take
The declaration's explicit rejection of carbon border adjustment mechanisms is the sharper signal here: it aligns the bloc against a policy instrument that major economies are advancing, framing it as protectionist rather than environmental. That matters most for developing economies exposed to such measures, and it foreshadows friction in climate-trade negotiations. China's confirmed 2027 chairmanship also suggests continuity in pushing multilateral language over unilateral tools. Whether this translates into coordinated negotiating positions, or remains declaratory, is the open question.
