Relações Brasil-Alemanha: análise da cooperação alemã no Brasil na área das energias renováveis

Abstract

The energy cooperation between Brazil and Germany, from 2000 to 2024, has been consolidated as a strategic alliance aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and addressing climate change. Based on shared interests and common values, this partnership has stood out for its emphasis on renewable energy, technological innovation, and sustainable development, reinforcing the importance of technical exchange and the implementation of policies focused on energy transition. This undergraduate thesis analyzes this bilateral cooperation with a focus on the activities of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the development bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) in Brazil—institutions that have played a central role in enabling environmental and energy-related projects in the country. Structured in three main chapters, the work begins by addressing the system of foreign aid and German cooperation, exploring the institutional mechanisms that support technical and financial assistance. Next, the research investigates the development of bilateral relations in the environmental and energy sectors, analyzing policies, agreements, and joint initiatives over the past decades. Finally, by examining the core elements of this partnership, the study seeks to demonstrate how international cooperation can serve as an effective tool in supporting the development of sustainable public policies, positioning the Brazil-Germany relationship as a significant example of collaboration in favor of a cleaner and more balanced energy future
