Energia renovável e tecnologia na América Latina: desafios para a implementação da ODS 7- energia limpa e acessível

Abstract

The present research presents as its central theme the study related to the development of the 2030 Agenda, focusing on the application of energy efficiency and clean energy technologies (Sustainable Development Goal 7) between the public and private sectors of Latin America, with the general objective being the assessment of how the Latin American historical and socioeconomic context impacts the way in which the region develops its sustainable technologies for clean and accessible energy, starting from an initial theoretical analysis of the consequences of colonialism and the coloniality of power in the Latin American region, demonstrated through documentary research, which shows the impacts currently suffered by the region, taking into account its socioeconomic scenario and its challenges for the development and application of mostly Eurocentric technologies in combating climate change. Subsequently, in a second step, the research aims to demonstrate that, even in the face of impasses in the implementation of projects associated with SDG 7, Latin American countries give new meaning to the great current difficulties and carry out projects associated with clean and accessible energy throughout the region, generating contributions aligned with major global conventions such as the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations, with support from governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector, which has become an important ally in promoting investments expansive and long-term approach to the current topic, as presented via documentary study and analysis of legislation in Brazil, Colombia and Peru, with subsequent semi-structured interviews carried out alongside renowned professionals within the Sustainability area of large corporations important in the topic. This research, in this way, contributes to demonstrating how the region is evolving in the face of the growth of debate and global commitment to the issue of controlling emissions and the race for carbon neutrality, through obstacles, but with great support from the corporate sector, being the energy theme is one of the main and most important contents discussed within the topic of greenhouse gasses, especially in a region with great potential to lead clean energy movements globally, due to its wealth of natural resources.
