Abstract
The article explores the environmental aspects of sustainable development in the BRICS countries as the most important participants in the global environmental dialogue. It analyzes the key environmental challenges facing these countries, including environmental pollution, climate change, depletion of natural resources and shortage of clean water. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, the transition to a green economy, the use of renewable energy sources and the development of environmental policy. It notes the active participation of countries in international agreements and programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, developing renewable energy and introducing green technologies. Special attention is paid to the prospects for interstate cooperation, including technology exchange, investment in sustainable infrastructure and coordination of climate policy. A conclusion is made about the need to integrate environmental protection priorities into strategic planning and economic development of the countries of the association in order to achieve global environmental sustainability.
