“…Urban electrification opens up opportunities to provide access to clean and affordable energy from renewable sources (e.g. Stewart et al, 2018) to over a billion people in the world who lack access to electricity, many of whom live in rapidly urbanizing areas or urbanized areas where access to electricity is highly uneven (de Collaço et al, 2019).…”

Non-technical summary We summarize some of the past year's most important findings within climate change-related research. New research has improved our understanding of Earth's sensitivity to carbon dioxide, finds that permafrost thaw could release more carbon emissions than expected and that the uptake of carbon in tropical ecosystems is weakening. Adverse impacts on human society include increasing water shortages and impacts on mental health. Options for solutions emerge from rethinking economic models, rights-based litigation, strengthened governance systems and a new social contract. The disruption caused by COVID-19 could be seized as an opportunity for positive change, directing economic stimulus towards sustainable investments. Technical summary A synthesis is made of ten fields within climate science where there have been significant advances since mid-2019, through an expert elicitation process with broad disciplinary scope. Findings include: (1) a better understanding of equilibrium climate sensitivity; (2) abrupt thaw as an accelerator of carbon release from permafrost; (3) changes to global and regional land carbon sinks; (4) impacts of climate change on water crises, including equity perspectives; (5) adverse effects on mental health from climate change; (6) immediate effects on climate of the COVID-19 pandemic and requirements for recovery packages to deliver on the Paris Agreement; (7) suggested long-term changes to governance and a social contract to address climate change, learning from the current pandemic, (8) updated positive cost–benefit ratio and new perspectives on the potential for green growth in the short- and long-term perspective; (9) urban electrification as a strategy to move towards low-carbon energy systems and (10) rights-based litigation as an increasingly important method to address climate change, with recent clarifications on the legal standing and representation of future generations. Social media summary Stronger permafrost thaw, COVID-19 effects and growing mental health impacts among highlights of latest climate science.

“…Ao determinar a obrigatoriedade dos municípios em desenvolver planos diretores de ordenamento do território, com foco na infraestrutura, no transporte, no saneamento e no uso do solo, áreas com forte correlação com as questões de uso, conversão e conservação de energia; coloca-se um mecanismo de autonomia para atuação subnacional em PE. Isso porque, conforme apontado por diversos estudos (COLLAÇO et al, 2019b;CREUTZIG et al, 2015;GRUBLER et al, 2012), todos esses elementos de fato influenciam nas questões de demanda e oferta de energia no território.…”

“…Apesar disso, há um corpo de literatura crescente (COLLAÇO et al, 2019b;COELHO et al, 2018;MARINS;ROMÉRO, 2014;TAN et al, 2017) que demonstra que a atuação em PE deve ir muito além da ótica centralizada e ofertista (expansão do parque gerador). Isso porque as instâncias subnacionais têm um papel elementar de viabilizar a transição energética.…”

Para viabilizar a transição do sistema de energia onde predomina o uso e consumo de energias fósseis para um sistema de baixo carbono, é importante destacar o papel da governança multinível. Nesse interim, a descentralização do planejamento energético (PE) é indispensável para a formulação de políticas públicas coerentes e integradas, necessárias ao enfrentamento de mudanças climáticas. O presente trabalho analisa a governança multinível do arcabouço de políticas energéticas no Brasil, apontando suas limitações e possibilidades para alavancar a atuação no nível subnacional em PE, focando a região da Macrometrópole Paulista. Embora tenham sido identificados vários elementos capazes de alavancar o desenvolvimento do PE nos vários níveis da federação, nota-se uma falta de integração na governança entre as leis e políticas de mudança climática e energia

“…The transport and industry sectors were identified as critical players in the potential for energy saving and carbon mitigation. In Brazil, Collaço, Dias, et al [43] evaluated the future energy system for the São Paulo megacity using different pathways to increase renewable and endogenous sources for different sectors. Scenarios were modeled for the transport sector considering public transport, renewable energy use such as biodiesel and ethanol, and bicycles.…”

Assessment of Greenhouse Gases and Pollutant Emissions in the Road Freight Transport Sector: A Case Study for São Paulo State, Brazil

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study analyzes the road freight sector of São Paulo state to identify the best options to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and local pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons. Additionally, the investment cost of each vehicle is also analyzed. Results show that electric options, including hybrid, battery, and hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles represent the best options to reduce pollutants and greenhouse gases emissions concomitantly, but considerable barriers for their deployment are still in place. With little long-term planning on the state level, electrification of the transport system, in combination with increased renewable electricity generation, would require considerable financial support to achieve the desired emissions reductions without increasing energy insecurity.
