A　multi-regional　input-output　(MRIO)　model　was　constructed　to　measure　and　compare　the　trade-induced　carbon　emissions　within　the　forest　industry　among　the　BRICS　countries:　Brazil,　Russia,　India,　China,　and　South　Africa.　The　results　indicate　the　following:　(1)　The　primary　source　of　import/export-related　carbon　emissions　from　the　forest　industry　in　BRICS　countries　is　the　trade　of　paper　products,　with　the　exception　of　Russia,　where　wood　products　significantly　contribute　to　its　export-related　carbon　emissions.　(2)　The　net　carbon　emissions　from　forest　industry　trade　in　BRICS　countries　underwent　varying　degrees　of　volatility　during　the　period　from　2008　to　2013.　(3)　China　and　Russia　exhibited　notably　higher　levels　of　trade-induced　carbon　emissions　in　their　forest　industries　compared　to　other　BRICS　nations,　while　the　scale　of　embodied　carbon　emissions　from　international　trade　in　the　forest　industry　of　South　Africa,　Brazil,　and　India　remained　relatively　similar.　(4)　The　trade-induced　carbon　emissions　of　the　forest　industry　in　BRICS　countries　were　predominantly　export-oriented　between　1995　and　2018.　Therefore,　it　is　recommended　that　BRICS　nations　prioritize　addressing　carbon　emissions　within　the　forest　industry＇s　trade　sector.　Collaborative　efforts　should　be　intensified　to　promote　cleaner　development　pathways,　foster　sustainable　economic　growth,　and　take　a　more　proactive　stance　in　global　climate　change　negotiations.
