On November 24, the 2022 Meeting of Heads of BRICS National Standardization Bodies was held both online and in-person.

As the current pandemic overlaps with changes unseen in a century, the global governance system and international landscape are under readjustment, and the world economy recovery remains anemic, BRICS countries agreed that, against the backdrop of unprecedented challenges, as important representatives of emerging market and developing countries, should continue to cooperate on standardization, maintain the smooth flow of global supply chains, boost green and low-carbon development, delivering global recovery. At the meeting, representatives emphasized that under the new situation, it is more important to uphold the spirit of "openness, inclusiveness and cooperative development", improve the cooperation mechanism of standardization, promote innovation and green development through standardization, and create a new era of global development.

UNIDO highly appraised the achievements of BRICS countries and expressed its willingness to join hands with BRICS to promote the standardization for green and low-carbon growth, to achieve a robust, greener and healthier global development through the perspective of standardization.
