The anti-globalization trend has swept the world with Black Swan events in recent years, while emerging countries, especially BRICS, performing as rising powers on the global stage with their own unique development patterns, lead global governance and prop up world economic growth.
Despite being caught in the dilemma of poverty alleviation through economic development and environmental protection, the BRICS countries have still adopted efficient measures for a greener planet.
Editor's note: Mr Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr, vice-president of the New Development Bank, shares his views with China Daily's Wu Zheyu on how BRICS can deepen cooperation and the bank's role in promoting it. Excerpts follow:
While the BRICS group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa emerged at a time of crisis, it has also addressed long-term issues of global governance since its start. The BRICS transition from an enthusiastic participant to a leading institution in global governance stands out in the areas of development and climate change.
Robust energy industry relations among BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - complement producers and exporters on one side and importers and suppliers on the other, creating a perfect atmosphere for win-win deals that could bridge the demand-supply gap among bloc members, analysts said.
