BRICS now hosts 56% of the world population, and accounts for 44% of global GDP - more influence and weight.
Keeping this in mind, the recently held BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro has some key takeaways for climate and global policy:
💡 BRICS called for reforms of the principal organs of the UN

What does India's post-coal future look like?
💡 73,800 layoffs in Coal India by 2050, according to the Global Energy Monitor
💡 The labour cutback has begun. The number of permanent workers in Coal India has declined, while there's been a rise in contractual workers, over the last five years

Coal currently powers 75% of India’s electricity and is expected to peak by 2040.
After that comes the massive downfall - declining by 99% by 2060 to meet net zero goals.
What happens then to the 21 million people dependent on #coaleconomy?

'Just transition' is thought of as a future phenomenon. In India's coal belt, that future is already here.
In my latest story, I look at how 21 millions coal workers might lose their livelihoods in east India, while the west and south develop on the back of new,green industries.
