The XVI BRICS Summit, dedicated to strengthening multilateralization for equitable global development and security, has ended in Kazan. Following the discussion, the participants adopted the Kazan Declaration, which included many issues previously considered by the relevant ministers of the participating countries.
In terms of ecology and natural resources, the document includes the Russian initiatives "Clean BRICS Rivers" and the "BRICS Environmentally Friendly Technologies Platform (BEST)", the press service of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia reports. The launch of the Framework Program on Climate Change and Sustainable Development was noted.
The leaders of the BRICS countries supported the development of the Geological Platform and the BRICS Climate Research Platform, and gave the green light to the Russian initiative to involve young people in environmental activities.
The BEST Platform, which includes the Clean BRICS Rivers program, can become a universal mechanism for practical cooperation for all members of the BRICS association. The geological platform will facilitate the process of sharing knowledge and technologies, which have their own characteristics in each country. We will be glad to provide support in mining issues," said Alexander Kozlov, Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation.
