In the strongest statement on the subject, BRICS nations have condemned and rejected the pretext of climate concerns “CBAMS, and other similar restrictive business measures of Europe, and rejected” the pretext of climate concerns “, saying that they are in a clean economy to clean their growth and infection.
CBAM is an import duty imposed on goods produced by the European Union (EU) that lead more carbon emissions than domestic European manufacturers, allowing them to emit. Ostenceble cause is to check ‘carbon leakage’, but it is the effect of creating items like steel or cement from a country like India, for example, more expensive in European markets and thus less competitive.
Developing countries including India and China have been strongly important for CBAMs, calling it unilateral and inappropriate trade obstacles. They maintain this that violates international agreements on both trade and climate, and raised the issue on many international forums, including the annual climate conferences. But the European Union has been incredible. Statements by BRICS Nations, a group of nine large developing economies, whose annual two -day summit concluded in Brazil on Monday, is another reunion of the standing countries stand, although in a very strong language.
“We condemn and reject unilateral, punitive and discriminatory, conservationist measures, which are not in accordance with international law, pretending environmental concerns, such as unilateral and discriminatory carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAMS), with harmful effects on global efforts, to re -connect BRICS and other measures.
The outline of the leaders on climate finance is the result of discussions organized by a new contact group of ministers on climate change and sustainable development which was created last year under the chairmanship of Russia’s BRICS.
The announcement stated that CBAMS, and other measures such as ban on trade of forest goods, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) of 1994 violated the provisions of the provisions of the UNFCCs (UNFCC) and reached the agreement in other climate meetings. For example, Article 3 (5) of the UNFCCC asks countries to “promote an auxiliary and open international system”, which will lead to permanent economic growth and development among those in all countries, especially in the developing world. Importantly, it also states that “measures taken to combat climate change, including unilateral people, should not constitute a means of arbitrary or improper discrimination or international business”.
BRICS countries said in their latest statement that they want a complete implementation of this provision in UNFCCC.

“We also oppose unilateral conservationist measures that deliberately disrupt global supply and production chains and deformed competition,” said this.
“We express concern that such measures, as well as unilateral economic and financial restrictions, can reduce the capacity of BRICS countries to invest in their own infections and development priorities and reduce the risk for removing important resources at a time when developing countries face a financial difference to further climate action and continuous growth.
BRICS nations also asked the rich and developed worlds to give their commitments completely under the UNFCCC and 2015 agreement, especially related to providing financial resources to developing countries to take climate action. Developed countries are bound to raise at least $ 100 billion per year in climate finance for developing countries. He has promised to increase it to at least US $ 300 billion per year. But developing countries say that it is very low and too late, given that they already require at least US $ 1.3 trillion per year.
“We emphasize that although developing countries have contributed to some extent to climate change, population in these countries is less equipped with reference to its adverse effects and relevant infrastructure, to face its effects, therefore, we highlight the need to increase the share of financing for adaptation, especially public finance said.

BRICS nations asked the developed world to immediately increase the amount by 2025 in 2019, as agreed in climate conferences to increase its financial contribution to adaptation projects.
“We emphasize that adaptation finance should be mainly concessional, grant-based and accessible to local communities and the debt burden on developing economies should not be increased to a large extent, while ensuring predictions, adequate and direct access methods that provide convenience of implementation of the implementation of the reference-analogy solution aligned with national adaptation schemes and priorities.
