Segurança energética por meio da transição da economia de baixo carbono: o Brasil em perspectiva.

Abstract

Owing to the current greenhouse gases concentration levels, concerns about the environment and the future has been growing. That is because the scientists are predicting that the planet’s average temperature can be raised, what would cause a drastic change in the environment. Studies have shown that, besides putting in risk the human beings’ life, the ecosystem would be also greatly affected in general. It would set off irreversible impacts, compromising wellbeing and life of future generations. Therefore, to understand the nature and the dimension of those impacts is still crucial to determine policies against global warming and, consequently, to decrease the greenhouse gases emission. It is necessary to analyse the effects of those policies in the economic growth and in the spotlight, Brazil. The energy condition as a fundamental factor in the productive, commercial and social consumption infrastructure influences national and international policies for the environment as well as economic and social strategies. What drives to a detailed and amplified vision of the security conception, highlighting the importance of energetic security, in a way that this one can be reached through the economy of low carbon, a new tendency to the international economy. Throughout the case study – Brazil – it is the intention to analyse the experiences and perspectives in a qualitative approach, based in literature review and data analyses of the great international conferences and the historic of national policies of the theme. Based on its prominent relevance and reference role in the international scene and being privileged by the abundance in natural resources. It is by putting the Brazilian energetic security, through this multidimensional bias, it will try to identify these different facets that guide objectives and interests in this act universe of several actors. Taking into account the opportunity to confront questions of socioeconomic and environmental order, in a way to answer demands attached to the national development project and Brazilian international insertion.
