Exclusive

From 50 to 50

ZHANG JIANYU
Not much room for flexibility

At the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP 26) in November 2021, countries agreed to bring forward plans to limit global warming to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels, calling for stronger national action plans to be submitted in 2022 and a phase-down of coal power.
WOLFGANG ROEHR
Walk the talk

Can the BRICS countries strengthen their cooperation to boost their post-pandemic recovery? They should try, but it isn't going to be easy, not least because despite their reasonable time spent now as a group, there isn't much evidence that they have ever successfully undertaken collective policy action that has boosted their growth rates. In addition, there are considerable challenges they all face.
JIM O'NEILL
