Emissões de CO2, energia renovável, economia da energia, Protocolo de Kyoto, Acordo de ParisResumo
O objetivo deste estudo é analisar como a produção de energias renováveis, o Protocolo de Kyoto e o Acordo de Paris influenciaram a redução das emissões de CO2 do setor de energia na América Latina entre 1980 e 2022. Utilizando um modelo de dados em painel com efeitos fixos, analisa-se o impacto da interação entre os acordos climáticos globais e a adoção de energia limpa sobre o nível de emissões de CO2 nos países latino-americanos. Os resultados indicam que o uso de fontes renováveis reduz as emissões de CO2 do setor de energia, e que, durante o período de vigência dos acordos climáticos, a relação entre o aumento das renováveis e a queda das emissões se mantém, embora o efeito possua menor magnitude. Esse enfraquecimento reflete a complexidade dos processos de transição energética, em que políticas de incentivo à energia limpa nem sempre são acompanhadas de restrições ao uso de combustíveis fósseis. Esta pesquisa fornece evidências da importância de políticas climáticas robustas para potencializar a transição energética, contribuindo para a literatura ao examinar a relação entre a produção de energia renovável, acordos climáticos globais e redução de emissões de CO2 associadas ao setor energético, área pouco explorada na América Latina
