Sustainability
Accelerating collective efforts toward climate action, green finance, energy transitions, and sustainable development aligned with national and global priorities.
18th BRICS Summit under India’s Chairship coincides with a period of transition in global trade, technology, and workforce dynamics. As BRICS economies together account for a substantial share of the world’s young population, the role of industry and trade in enabling youth participation in economic growth, entrepreneurship and cross-border collaboration is increasingly significant.
In this context, Chamber India®, is organising a virtual discussion series with the youth to reflect on how industry - and trade-led cooperation within BRICS can be shaped to respond to the aspirations, capabilities and leadership potential of youth.
