BRICS New Delhi Declaration Backs Sustainable Transport and Aviation Fuels to Cut Emissions
ndtvprofit.comBRICS members adopted the New Delhi Declaration at their 2026 summit, agreeing to expand cooperation on cleaner transport and low-carbon aviation fuels. The group says it will pool expertise and investment to build transport infrastructure that cuts emissions while holding up under disruption. It also launched a forum on sustainable aviation fuels and a knowledge exchange framework for transport decarbonisation. Beyond aviation, the declaration covers urban mobility, logistics supply chains, and a proposed railway research network. Member states also backed an expansion of the ICAO Council to improve representation for Africa and the Asia-Pacific. The commitments are heavy on frameworks and light on specific targets, so the next step is whether any concrete blending mandates or funding commitments follow.
