DESAFIOS JURÍDICOS PARA EFETIVAÇÃO DA TRANSIÇÃO ENERGÉTICA JUSTA E SUSTENTÁVEL NO BRASIL

Abstract

This study, entitled "Legal Challenges for the Effectiveness of a Just and Sustainable Energy Transition in Brazil," aims to investigate the role of Law in building a fairer and more sustainable energy model in Brazil. Regarding the established objectives, the research initially sought to analyze the international and national contexts of the energy transition, addressing the main global agreements and their influence on countries' energy policies. The privileged position of Brazil is highlighted, given that its energy matrix is predominantly renewable, especially regarding hydroelectric, solar, and wind sources. Nevertheless, the research points to gaps and deficiencies in the national legal framework, which lacks norms adapted to the specificities of renewable sources, compromising the predictability and effectiveness of energy policies. Furthermore, the analysis discusses the need for more strategic planning that considers the country's regional differences and local characteristics, in order to ensure legal certainty and fairness throughout the transition process. Finally, the study addresses the role of the State and society in achieving the energy transition in Brazil, emphasizing the implementation of public policies and the importance of social participation. It highlights the relevance of promoting a just energy transition, discussing essential policies for its realization and stressing the need to include vulnerable communities in the process to ensure that it is equitable and effective. This investigation concludes that, for a successful energy transition, it is essential that legal regulations and public policies be designed in an integrated manner, reconciling sustainability with social equity.
