Fact Sheet highlights a cleaner energy mix, robust public policies, and focus on energy justice
Ten years after the signing of the Paris Agreement, Brazil shows significant progress in its energy transition, with emphasis on the strengthening of an increasingly cleaner energy mix and the development of public policies focused on energy security and justice. The document brings together data and reflections on the country’s challenges and opportunities within the global decarbonization context.
The energy transition — defined by CNPE Resolution No. 5/2024 as the process of transforming energy infrastructure, production, and consumption toward net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions — is one of the key pillars for achieving Brazil’s climate goals.
While the world seeks to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, Brazil stands out internationally for its high share of renewable sources in the energy mix, such as hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass. However, the report highlights that the country still faces major challenges, such as eradicating energy poverty and promoting equity in access to energy.
“The transition must be just and inclusive. It is not enough to be clean; it must also ensure that all Brazilians have access to energy in a safe and sustainable way,” the document states.
The publication also emphasizes that, given its natural and institutional advantages, Brazil is well positioned to lead global energy transition initiatives — provided that it combines technological innovation, integrated public policies, and actions focused on social inclusion.
