The BRICS countries are of critical importance to both supply and demand fundamentals

of energy markets globally. Today BRICS plays a very important role in the system of

international energy security. BRICS energy diversication is driven by concerns for energy

security. The potential for a BRIC energy partnership is thus enormous. The development

of the BRIC countries in the next coming decades will include demographic changes with

a growing middle class population which will demand more energy and resources that

our world has the potential to supply.

A Green Energy Revolution is the panacea to solve major social, economic and envi-

ronmental eects of their growing populations. This paper is an attempt to highlight

the cooperation among the BRICS Nations for the development of Energy Sector and at

the same time the concerning issue of climate change etc. It further discusses about the

contribution of BRICS countries in the global economy. This paper also discusses about

the role of the BRICS Nations in collaboration with the International Energy Agency.

Keywords: BRICS, energy security, demand, IEA, revolution.
