https://doi.org/10.36704/sapiens.v7i1.9223Palavras-chave:
energia sustentável; mudanças climáticas; matriz energética; países em desenvolvimento; diversificação energética.Resumo
The text addresses the pressing need to find sustainable solutions to the growing global energy demand, considering the environmental and climate impacts of the predominant sources. It highlights the responsibility of developed countries in leading the search for new energy sources, while developing countries face more significant economic and social impacts. The detailed analysis of various energy generation technologies in different countries highlights the importance of a holistic and adaptive approach in the transition to cleaner energy sources. The study provides insights for countries seeking to address the challenges of climate change and
environmental degradation by diversifying their energy matrices.
