RESUMO

A China é a segunda maior economia do mundo e a maior produtora e consumidora de energia global. O país enfrenta o desafio de suprir sua alta demanda energética e diminuir as emissões de carbono. O conceito de “Civilização Ecológica” defende o envolvimento internacional chinês em discursos ambientais e a formulação de políticas para o desenvolvimento sustentável com características chinesas. A transição energética é um fenômeno estrutural que envolve mudanças na maneira como a energia é convertida, produzida, transmitida, armazenada e consumida. Atualmente, esse movimento global busca a descarbonização energética através da substituição de fontes fósseis por fontes renováveis e limpas. As ligações entre o conceito de Civilização Ecológica, a adoção do discurso ecológico verde sustentável, a busca pela transição energética e sua subsequente operacionalização através da Nova Rota da Seda culminam em uma coalizão internacional verde. Esta pesquisa busca relacionar fatores políticos e conceituais sobre Sociedade Ecológica e como ocorre o desenvolvimento através da transição energética implantada nos megaprojetos de infraestrutura ao longo da Rota.

[Trabalho em Anais] The Changing Role of the United Nations in the Global Climate and Energy Governance Nexus

ABSTRACT

Climate change is a major global governance challenge of the XXI century
and an elaborated global climate governance system, centralized in the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), was established as
a response. However, the lack of effectiveness in the governance system is evident
regarding the continued increase in GHG emissions worldwide. Because global
energy production and climate change are intrinsically related, the search for political
coherence between the different fields is fundamental. Nevertheless, such a
relationship is not stated in institutional terms. Most of the actors in the fragmented
global energy governance prioritize energy security, international security, and
economic interests. Conversely, global climate governance actors did not define the
problem of climate change as directly related to energy use until recently. Despite
being neglected in energy governance research, the United Nations (UN) has the
potential to develop the relationship between the two governance systems. Even
though energy issues were historically discussed in normative and institutional terms
outside of the UN, the current global context is bringing energy to a far more complex
international political framework. In this context, the UN is becoming a more
prominent actor and may have the legitimacy that other GEG actors have not
achieved, regarding the efforts to represent developing countries. Initiatives such as
the climate negotiations coordinated by the UNFCCC, sustainable development
projects by the UN, and the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), influence
global energy policies and brings focus to universal access to energy and energy
transition issues. This paper outlines the efforts to institutionalize energy cooperation
in the UN through the analysis of the organization’s official documents, especially
since the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20).
The main objective is to evaluate the changing role of the UN as an actor of energy
governance and its implications in climate governance, recognizing its priorities, the
interests at stake, and the contradictions of the process.

[Apresentação de Trabalho] CONTINUITIES AND INFLECTIONS IN BRAZILIAN FOREIGN POLICY DURING THE BOLSONARO GOVERNMENT: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES AT THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY (2019-2022)

ABSTRACT

This article seeks to analyze the continuities and inflections in the Brazilian Foreign Policy (PEB) that
occurred in the four years of Jair Bolsonaro’s government (2019-2022). To this end, the speeches given by the
Brazilian President at the General Assembly of the United Nations throughout his mandate are analyzed from three
axes, selected due to their relevance to the internal and external political conjunctures then established, and because
they are historically relevant guidelines in the PEB, as well as the guidelines contested by the international
community during the Bolsonaro government. The three themes, which serve as the basis for the discursive
analysis of the foreign policy of that period in time, are ideological partnerships and ideology at the domestic level;
the climate, the Amazon, and the Environment; and the role of Brazil in the international scenario. For the
discursive analysis, the texts are examined, mainly, from the theory of three authors, considering the discourse as
a political act: Patrick Charaudeau, who understands the mediatic discourse from three instances: the production,
the product, and the reception; Ernesto Laclau and the theory of social construction; and, still, Dominique
Maingueneau with the enunciation scenes, the ethos, and the discursive genres in his approach. From this
investigation, and using the concepts coined by the author Charles Hermann (1990), an attempt was made to define
whether there were changes in Brazilian foreign policy and, if so, to what extent. This evaluation was reconciled
with an analysis of the developments of Brazilian foreign policy in the period, supported by a literature review,
primarily academic texts, in order to assess how the eventual continuities and inflections in the speeches were
reflected in the practice of the PEB under the command of President Jair Bolsonaro.

[Apresentação de Trabalho] Dimensões da Justiça Energética na Governança Global de Energia: uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura

RESUMO

Este trabalho aborda as interações entre a governança global de energia e a justiça
energética na literatura acadêmica. A governança global de energia aborda questões como
pobreza energética, mitigação das mudanças climáticas, boa governança e direitos humanos,
e esse campo pode ser expandido através da interação com as considerações da justiça
energética. É realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura que analisa 21 trabalhos
acadêmicos para estabelecer os fundamentos para a discussão da justiça energética em nível
global através de um mapeamento do campo de pesquisa. O estudo destaca a necessidade
crescente de integrar mais profundamente as dimensões da justiça energética nas análises
dos diversos níveis de governança energética, especialmente no contexto da transição para
uma economia de baixo carbono, considerando questões de equidade e justiça.
