Chapter Chapter 9 in Globalisation and Energy Transition in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2022, pp 245-252 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book aims to identify the effect of globalisation on renewable energy transition in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) countries. The focus in the LAC countries is related to globalisation that has grown in the last 30 years. This process of integration with the rest of the world is a potential factor that influences a higher economic activity and, consequently, the energy demand and environmental degradation. However, the LAC countries have been adopting mechanisms, such as renewable energy transition, to meet the energy demand while mitigating the consumption of fossil fuels and CO2 emissions caused by globalisation. For this reason, it is necessary to understand how this same globalisation process interacts with this energy transition and if its net impact is positive or negative. To answer the central question and contribute to constructing the big picture that emerges from this puzzle, the analysis of the impact of globalisation on renewable energy transition was organised as a compilation of six chapters based on four specific questions created from three spheres or aspects related to the renewable energy transition. Each of them produced individual and overall results relevant to literature, policymakers, financial agents, governments, environmentalists, and societies and organisations directly pertinent and that are related to this investigation.
