The BRICS STI Framework Programme aims to support excellent research on priority areas which can best be addressed by a multinational approach. The initiative should facilitate cooperation among the researchers and institutions in the consortia which consist of partners from at least three of the BRICS countries.

Broad Thematic area:Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

To ensure impactful research, collaborative multilateral basic, applied or innovation research projects must directly address at least one of the following key risks:

1. Building Resilience: local scale adaptation and adaptive response at catchment scale.
2. Earth Observation Technology-based assessment of the impacts and consequences of climate change.
3. Systematic response – Using WEF (water, energy, food) nexus approach for a cross-sectoral management of climate change.
4. Risks to low-lying coastal socio-ecological systems
