Brazil’s opportunity to lead the global dialogue on energy and climate

Brazil is a frontrunner in clean energy transitions: among the world’s largest economies, it boasts the lowest share of fossil fuels in its energy mix. Holding the G20 Presidency in 2024, Brazil has an opportunity to lead the global energy transition agenda, drawing on its renewables-based power system and large biofuel sector. It will also host the COP30 climate change conference next year in Belém, a gateway city to the Amazon region, which will put Brazil’s clean energy initiatives firmly under the international spotlight.
