As BRICS expands in 2025, its lineup represents nearly half of the global population, signaling a shift toward a multipolar, sustainable future.
Key Questions for the Global South
- Unified Voice: Can this diverse coalition speak with one voice on trade, climate and development?
- Fair Growth: How can member nations leverage BRICS to ensure inclusive economic gains?
- True Multipolarity: Will BRICS drive lasting change or face internal divisions?
Experts and media representatives from Indonesia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the Chinese mainland and Brazil joined CGTN to explore these themes. They pointed to opportunities in green energy, digital infrastructure and education exchanges as catalysts for equitable development.
Looking ahead, the challenge for BRICS will be balancing diverse priorities while forging a common agenda that champions sustainable, people-centered policies. For young global citizens, entrepreneurs and advocates across the Global South, the bloc’s evolution could define the next chapter of international cooperation.
