Brazil has introduced a comprehensive national framework to reinforce biodiversity protection over the next five years, as reported by the official website of Brazil’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. The new strategy, adopted at a federal meeting in Brasilia, sets out coordinated actions to guide conservation efforts, ecological restoration, and sustainable management across all major biomes.
The plan brings together more than 200 measures to be implemented jointly by federal ministries and public institutions, with a strong focus on safeguarding ecosystems and improving environmental governance. Central objectives include managing 80 per cent of the Amazon and 30 per cent of each of the country’s other biomes by 2030, alongside the recovery of at least 30 per cent of degraded or altered land in every biome, including coastal and marine areas.
Officials emphasised that reducing habitat loss is essential for tackling biodiversity decline and addressing the impacts of climate change.
The strategy also integrates national commitments under international biodiversity agreements, aligning domestic policy with global conservation targets. Measures range from large-scale restoration and combating invasive species to strengthening bioeconomy initiatives and expanding mechanisms for the fair sharing of benefits derived from natural resources.
The document is presented as a long-term pact for sustainability, aiming to restore ecological balance, reduce environmental risks and build more resilient territories across the country.
The focus on integrated environmental governance reflects a broader trend across BRICS+ countries, which have increasingly prioritised climate resilience, sustainable resource management, and ecosystem protection.
Egypt has also initiated a climate-resilience project aimed at strengthening the ability of urban centres to withstand environmental risks. The programme, launched in cooperation with the UN Development Programme, will begin in the coastal city of Damietta before expanding to other high-risk governorates. It focuses on improving climate-risk governance, enhancing urban planning based on hazard assessments, strengthening water-resource management and developing early-warning systems for extreme weather events. This is reported by Daily News Egypt, a partner of TV BRICS.
Officials noted that the initiative forms part of wider national efforts to build resilient infrastructure and reduce vulnerability to sea-level rise, coastal erosion and heatwaves.
A similar push toward climate-centred development is emerging in Ethiopia, where authorities have called for greater investment in green innovation to accelerate the country’s transition to a climate-resilient economy. Experts noted that expanding renewable energy, circular-economy solutions and regenerative agriculture requires stronger engagement from the private sector and wider access to climate finance.
At a national forum on green jobs, Ethiopia emphasised that environmentally sustainable employment must become a core pillar of future growth, with clean transport, emissions reduction and modern waste-management systems identified as key sectors able to strengthen resilience to climate shocks. According to ENA, a partner of TV BRICS, the initiative aims to create new green opportunities for youth and enterprises while advancing the country’s long-term Climate-Resilient Green Economy strategy.
In turn, recent environmental reviews highlight that Vietnam coastal provinces have exceeded national targets for safeguarding forested areas, with mangrove restoration emerging as a key priority. Mangrove ecosystems, often described as a natural buffer against sea-level rise and extreme weather, are being expanded to strengthen biodiversity and protect vulnerable shorelines.
VNA, a partner of TV BRICS, stated that integrating environmental protection with community livelihoods – through sustainable aquaculture, ecotourism and diversified income models – is proving essential for long-term conservation.
Together, these developments highlight the broader commitment across BRICS countries and partners to adopt long-term environmental strategies that improve resilience, enhance resource efficiency and protect ecosystems.
