Abstract
Adoption of Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs), those have the potential for significantly improved environmental performance relative to other technologies is one of the effective steps for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). BRICS countries are emerging economies and play an active role in contributing to GHG emissions and climate change. Therefore, adoption of ESTs in these countries play a crucial role in mitigating climate change. The role of BRICS nations at international climate negotiations are utmost important as it may determine the fate of climate change globally. In this context this paper analyses and discusses the national laws and plans in BRICS countries pertinent to ESTs which are mainly in consonance to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 1992. The legal provisions for development, dissemination, and technology transfer commitments concerning ESTs internationally and within BRICS countries are studied and analysed to understand the current position and future directions toward climate change mitigation.
