Environmental Sustainability Impact of Environmental Protection Regulations on the BRICS Countries

The BRICS countries are also known as the BRICS, which are composed of five economies: China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa. Of course, environmental issues are also included, because with the economic development of the five countries, the price paid is the environment. In response to this problem, in order to adapt the environmental problems arising in their own development to economic development, the BRICS countries have formulated corresponding laws and regulations to respond to existing or possible environmental problems. The most important purpose of this series of environmental protection laws is to achieve relatively stable and sustainable development in the five countries. This requires these environmental protection laws to have a sustainable impact on the environmental development of the BRICS countries. In order to conduct research on the impact of sustainable environmental laws that have been enacted, this article will use the analysis method of analyzing the relationship between the environmental protection regulations and economic development of the BRICS countries, as well as the relationship between the environmental protection laws and environmental sustainability development of the BRICS countries, and the impact of environmental sustainability based on empirical analysis. It assesses the impact on the sustainability of the environment of the BRICS countries under the auspices of environmental laws. Through the empirical analysis experiment of economic and environmental protection effects, the results obtained show that the comprehensive scores of environmental protection in the BRICS countries in 2018–2020 have been improved except Russia's score. Among them, the improvement of China's score is the most obvious, and the improvement of the ranking has reached 24. The results of this assessment show that, with the support of the corresponding environmental laws, sustainable impacts have been produced in the environment of the BRICS countries.
