A coalition entitled “Corals of Brazil” has been announced in Brazil to preserve and restore local coral reefs. This is reported by
Agência Brasil.
According to activists, the ecosystems of coral reefs are threatened by global warming on the planet, pollution from land, uncontrolled development of coastal areas and excessive fishing.
The coalition plans to advocate for the expansion of protected areas and support innovative solutions for their restoration. Among its goals are the restoration of 30 per cent of degraded Brazilian reefs by 2030 and the mobilisation of public and private resources for its activities.
As noted in the report, coral reefs occupy less than 0.1 per cent of the ocean floor but have significant environmental importance, providing shelter and food for around 25 per cent of marine species.
The Brazilian initiative also aligns with wider BRICS efforts to protect marine and coastal ecosystems. Other BRICS countries are advancing similar approaches within international climate negotiations. At COP30, for example, COP30’s Special Envoy for the Oceans Marinez Scherer presented the “Blue Package” – a comprehensive plan aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35 per cent by 2050 through ocean-based solutions. This is reported by
Brasil de Fato, a partner of TV BRICS.
Built on renewable energy, the decarbonisation of maritime transport and improved coastal resilience, the initiative underscores the shared commitment of BRICS members to implement science-based measures, strengthen environmental governance and promote sustainable financing mechanisms for nature protection.
Beyond Brazil’s initiatives, other BRICS countries are also advancing ambitious environmental measures that complement global efforts to safeguard the planet. Vietnam, for instance, is accelerating its transition to cleaner fuels by preparing for the nationwide rollout of E10 biofuel from June 2026, giving suppliers and consumers time to adapt. Under this policy, all unleaded petrol will be blended with 10 per cent ethanol, a step aimed at reducing emissions and supporting renewable energy goals.
The initiative, already piloted in major cities, is part of the country’s broader strategy to promote sustainable mobility and strengthen energy security, as reported by Vietnam News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS. This experience reflects the growing commitment across BRICS nations to adopt practical, scalable solutions that contribute to climate mitigation and environmental protection.
