دانلود کتاب حفاظت از اقلیم و منافع زیست محیطی در قانون انرژی های تجدیدپذیر

This book results from the research of Paula Galbiatti Silveira conducted at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil) and the University of Bremen (Germany). It is based on a doctoral dissertation the author wrote on a co-tutorial agreement between the two universities. Her work was supervised by Professors José Rubens Morato Leite, Florianopolis, and Gerd Winter, Bremen. Climate change is one of the most pressing concerns the entire world is facing. Solutions much depend on appropriate laws and their implementation. Considering that the stepping out of fossil energy is the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, legal systems have for some time focused on how to promote renewable energy. While this remains a major task for a long time to come, many projects including windmill farms, photovoltaic plantations, biomass production, and hydroelectric power dams show that there are adverse side effects especially on biodiversity that must be taken into account. Paula Galbiatti’s book is a major contribution to this effect. It examines how the law promoting renewable energy sources can be made compatible with other environmental interests, and, in particular, biodiversity protection. The author takes a legal comparative perspective which enriches the scope of instruments employed and allows to assess their effectiveness. Her cases are the Brazilian and German legal frameworks. Germany is one of the leaders and precursors in the energy transition toward renewable energy, with an effective increase in renewable energy generation, especially from wind power. Brazil is an interesting contrasting case because it has a much longer experience with renewables considering that it generates around 70% of its electricity from hydropower plants and 9% of fuels is generated from biomass. However, the large-scale plantations destroying the Amazon Forest and other natural areas put the sustainability of the policy into question and suggest to open the path to other sources, such as wind and solar energy.
