On March 14th, the Socio-Environmental Platform of the BRICS Policy Center held the 7th edition of Café com BRICS, with the support of the Climate and Society Institute (iCS). This event provided a space for dialogue between various sectors of society, aiming to discuss issues related to the BRICS countries and international governance from a socioenvironmental perspective.

The discussions featured the participation of Juan David Patiño (University of Sorbonne) and Matteo Minola (University of Milan), exchange interns from the Socioenvironmental Platform of the BPC. The debate followed a roundtable format, during which the participants shared data on Colombia, Indonesia, Mexico, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among the topics addressed, key points included the countries’ emission profiles, their commitments under the Paris Agreement — including their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) — and the main challenges each country faces in tackling climate change.

Additionally, this edition of Café com BRICS included a presentation about the new project of the Socioenvironmental Platform: the creation of the Global South Climate Ambitions Observatory, which is scheduled to launch at the end of this year. The research conducted by Juan David and Matteo on the four countries will be part of the content of the Observatory in development.
