Energia solar: uma solução possível para o controle da insegurança climática na Amazônia?

Abstract

This article analyzes the importance of adopting effective measures in the energy sector to mitigate climate insecurity in the Amazon, given the growing global urgency in relation to climate change. The objective of this work is to evaluate whether the use of solar energy is advantageous for the preservation of the Amazon ecosystem and its rich biodiversity, aligning the country's energy sources with the guiding principles of constitutional and environmental law. To this end, the study presents the environmental problems of the Amazon region, as well as demonstrating the need to adapt to a green economic model. Furthermore, it explores the viability of solar energy as an alternative to the country's energy matrix largely based on hydroelectric plants. Finally, it was concluded that, due to its minimal environmental impacts and great potential for exploration in Brazil, solar energy offers an effective and appropriate solution for a sustainable energy transition. In the research, the methodological path of bibliographic review is used, focused on carrying out bibliographic research on books, articles and documents relevant to the topic of study.
