During the Special Session of the Civil BRICS Council that took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 4-5 June a Compendium of Recommendations was adopted, focusing on seven thematic areas: health, education, ecology, culture, finance, digital sovereignty, and the group’s institutional framework.
"What we intend to convey is that cooperation must necessarily involve civil society organizations. While governments may engage with high-level political agendas and prominent issues in the current context, it is imperative to build more tangible channels for technological and cultural cooperation, and these can only be forged by the peoples themselves.“
“Civic engagement and popular participation are the foundational support to all debates. This is a significant outcome of our time—an authentic product of our collective endeavor”.
"I do not believe in initiatives undertaken in isolation. People are the ones who know their own reality and what they need. Only then can we formulate effective public policies. May this Council engage in dialogue with the BRICS Summit, as we have successfully done in the context of the Social G20".
As a result of the two-day Special Session of the Civil BRICS Council it was confirmed that in October, an additional in-person convening of BRICS civil society would be held, still under Brazil’s Chairship, with the objective of advancing and deepening dialogue following the dissemination of outcomes from the BRICS Summit. Popular movements in Brazil have proposed and are actively organizing an expanded conference, to be held over three days in

Outlining a comprehensive strategy aimed at advancing health equity, reinforcing public health systems, and enhancing cooperation among member countries. The document affirms health as a fundamental human right and underscores the imperative for systemic responses that address the social determinants of disease, safeguard vulnerable populations, and prioritize prevention and dignity in service delivery.
Presenting a vision for the development of inclusive, people-centered educational models that affirm the sovereignty, diversity, and cooperation of member nations. Recognizing education as a universal right and a strategic domain for international cooperation, the document outlines structural reforms aimed at countering commodification, strengthening public systems, and enhancing democratic governance in education across the Global South.
In view of escalating environmental emergencies, mounting geopolitical tensions, and the weakening of global climate commitments, the strategic recommendations aim to advance climate justice and sustainable development led by and for the Global South. The document articulates a people-centered ecological agenda grounded in social equity, environmental integrity, and international cooperation among BRICS member states.
Asserting the centrality of cultural cooperation to strengthen BRICS, fostering multipolarity, and advancing mutual understanding among the group’s diverse societies. Grounded in principles of anti-colonialism, cultural diversity, and social justice, the document outlines a comprehensive set of proposals aimed at promoting cultural integration, artistic collaboration, heritage preservation, and inclusive development among member states.
Outlining a strategic framework for restructuring the global financial architecture from the vantage point of the Global South. The proposals aim to advance sovereign, inclusive, and sustainable development across BRICS member states, moving beyond conventional market paradigms to address pressing human, social, environmental, and financial challenges. The recommendations encompass international taxation, trade, monetary policy, financial cooperation, technology, and institutional reform.
Outlining a strategic framework for advancing digital sovereignty, inclusive governance of artificial intelligence (AI), and a human-centered digital economy. Acknowledging the growing concentration of technological power and global disparities in digital development, the document advocates enhanced cooperation among BRICS member states to ensure a just, secure, and autonomous digital transformation, firmly grounded in social justice and human rights.
Presenting a strategic vision for strengthening peace, sovereignty, and institutional reform within the group. The document advocates a multipolar global order grounded in the self-determination of peoples, in democratic governance, and in inclusive participation. As BRICS continues to expand, it must cultivate stronger institutional structures to ensure coherence, transparency, and effective coordination—while embracing diversity and resisting external coercion.

📄 XVII BRICS Summit Rio de Janeiro Declaration "Strengthening Global South Cooperation for a More Inclusive and
Sustainable Governance"
Full text of the Declaration
Excerpts from the Declaration:
• We reiterate our commitment to reforming and improving global governance by promoting a more just, equitable, agile, effective, efficient, responsive, representative, legitimate, democratic and accountable international and multilateral system in the spirit of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits.
• We reaffirm our commitment to multilateralism and upholding the international law, including the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN), in their entirety and interconnectedness as its indispensable cornerstone, and the central role of the UN in the international system.
🇺🇳 We reiterate our support for a comprehensive reform of the United Nations, including its Security Council, with a view to making it more democratic, representative, effective and efficient, and to increase the representation of developing countries in the Council’s memberships so that it can adequately respond to prevailing global challenges and support the legitimate aspirations of emerging and developing countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America, including BRICS countries, to play a greater role in international affairs, in particular in the United Nations, including its Security Council.
🌐 We acknowledge that multipolarity can expand opportunities for EMDCs to develop their constructive potential and enjoy universally beneficial, inclusive and equitable economic globalization and cooperation.
• We condemn the imposition of unilateral coercive measures that are contrary to international law, and reiterate that such measures, inter alia in the form of unilateral economic sanctions and secondary sanctions, have far-reaching negative implications for the human rights, including the rights to development, health and food security, of the general population of targeted states, disproportionally affecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations, deepening the digital divide and exacerbating environmental challenges. We call for the elimination of such unlawful measures, which undermine international law and the principles and purposes of the UN Charter.
• We reaffirm that BRICS member states do not impose or support non-UN Security Council authorized sanctions that are contrary to international law.
• We condemn the military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran since 13 June 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and express grave concern over the subsequent escalation of the security situation in the Middle East.
• We recall that the Gaza Strip is an inseparable part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. We underline, in this regard, the importance of unifying the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under the Palestinian Authority, and reaffirm the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including the right to their independent State of Palestine.
• We reiterate that the principle 🌍 “African solutions to African problems” should continue to serve as the basis for conflict resolution on the African continent.
❗️ We condemn in the strongest terms the attacks against bridges and railways infrastructure deliberately targeting civilians in Bryansk, Kursk and Voronezh regions of the Russian Federation on 31 May, 1 and 5 June 2025, resulting in multiple civilian casualties, including children.
• We commend 🇧🇷 Brazil’s BRICS Chairship in 2025 and express our gratitude to the government and people of Brazil for holding the XVII BRICS Summit in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
• We extend full support to 🇮🇳 India for its BRICS Chairship in 2026 and the holding of the XVIII BRICS Summit in India.

Saudi Arabia and BRICS: Positive neutrality and diplomatic leadership in multipolar times
BRICS Policy Centre released the new issue of the journal Saudi Arabia and BRICS. The country’s accession to BRICS remains shrouded in ambiguity. Although the country was invited to join the group during the Johannesburg Summit in 2023, and is listed as a member in the "concept note" of Brazil’s BRICS Chairship in 2025, the Kingdom has yet to formally confirm its entry.
According to recent statements by the Minister of Economy and Planning, Faisal Al-Ibrahim, the country is still assessing the benefits and challenges before formalising its membership in the group. This hesitation, however, is not merely a sign of indecision—it reflects a diplomatic identity built around what is known as "positive neutrality."
