Abstract: The incorporation of nations into the BRICS+ international association is driven by a multifaceted rationale, encompassing not only political and economic considerations, but also the objective of implementing consensus solutions within the realm of environmental affairs. A central concern is the development of a unified system of decision-making and implementation within the context of climate change regulation. The accumulated experience of individual countries in implementing climate projects may become a prerequisite for the successful dissemination of appropriate technologies and methods of climate project management among all BRICS+ participants and, in particular, in Russia. The objective of this article is twofold: first, to provide a concise overview of the leading BRICS+ countries' experiences in implementing agro-climatic projects; and second, to identify the opportunities and barriers to the dissemination of these projects throughout the BRICS+ countries, with a particular focus on Russia. The objective of the present study is twofold: firstly, to identify the characteristic features of agro-climatic projects, and secondly, to generalize the experience of the BRICS+ countries and identify the prospects and barriers to their development in Russia. The article demonstrates the role of the BRICS+ countries in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in agriculture, identifies the leading emitting countries, and recognizes the leaders in the implementation of agro-climatic projects, which primarily include China, India, and Brazil. Despite the limited experience in implementing agro-climatic projects in Russia, opportunities exist to draw from the experience of BRICS+ countries in implementing coordinated policies and developing infrastructure for effective technology and knowledge dissemination. The article under scrutiny herein underscores the following salient points:
