Why? Because BRICS isn’t just about economies; it’s about global environmental policy, climate action, and India’s leadership role. The meetings will focus on four priority areas: sustainable lifestyles, forest fire management, disaster resilience, and circular economy; all high-yield topics for UPSC, State PSCs, and NABARD exams. The venue? Bharat Mandapam; a hotspot for international summits. And leading India’s delegation? Union Minister Bhupender Yadav. What’s more; this year’s BRICS Chairship theme is ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability’. That’s not just a tagline; it’s a potential mains answer waiting to happen. Bonus: the Environment Working Group was founded in 2015, and a newer Climate Change Contact Group started in 2024. That’s 2026 exam fodder right there. If you’re preparing for any govt. exam; especially those with an environment or international affairs section; this is your cue to bookmark these facts. BRICS meetings might sound diplomatic, but for aspirants? They’re pure gold.
