В ходе международных переговоров государства вступают в различные политические отношения, от союзничества и партнерства до конкуренции и соперничества. Несмотря на различия между ними, на страны БРИКС в совокупности приходится значительная доля мировых выбросов парниковых газов. В настоящей статье рассматриваются истоки сотрудничества в рамках БРИКС и его последствия для взаимодействия стран-членов объединения по климатическим вопросам. Теоретической рамкой исследования выступает неолиберальный институционализм. Прослеживается эволюция позиций стран БРИКС по вопросам изменения климата начиная с заключения Рамочной конвенции ООН об изменении климата в 1992 году. В статье утверждается, что три основных фактора определяют преимущественно союзнический и партнерский характер отношений стран БРИКС по климатической повестке: сопоставимый уровень экономического развития, общая уязвимость перед негативными последствиями изменения климата, сходные стратегические и международно-политические вызовы. Латентная конкуренция, присутствующая в отношениях стран БРИКС, также не способна переломить доминирующую тенденцию к сотрудничеству. Эти выводы вносят вклад в общую теоретическую дискуссию о закономерностях формирования политических альянсов в глобальном климатическом управлении.

In the complex world of international negotiations, nation-states often navigate a spectrum of political relationships, from alliances and partnerships to competition and rivalry. Despite their diverse backgrounds and interests, the BRICS countries collectively constitute a significant proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions. Drawing upon the principles of neoliberal institutionalism, this study delves into the origins of the BRICS cooperation mechanism and its impact on climate cooperation among its member states. Our analysis traces the climate policies of BRICS nations since the inception of the UNFCCC in 1992, taking into consideration factors such as their level of economic development, environmental vulnerability, and the broader international political context. We argue that these three factors primarily shape the dynamics of alliance and partnership within BRICS regarding climate governance, although underlying competition may also influence collaborative efforts. This study aims to stimulate further theoretical discourse on the formation of political alliances within the context of global climate governance.
