Résumé

Desafios ambientais, pressões sociais e a assinatura de acordos internacionais ressaltam a necessidade de uma transição para fontes de energia renováveis. Esse movimento é impulsionado pela viabilidade econômica de tecnologias como a solar e a eólica. No entanto, a transição para energias renováveis enfrenta obstáculos significativos: sua menor densidade energética, em comparação com as fontes fósseis, exige estruturas de maior porte para produzir quantidades equivalentes de energia. Além disso, essas fontes apresentam uma durabilidade inferior às convencionais, resultando em um aumento na demanda por minerais, frequentemente extraídos em países do Sul Global. Isso pode intensificar as implicações e conflitos socioambientais relacionados à mineração. Baseado na coleta e interpretação de dados de variados relatórios globais, e complementado por informações de artigos de diferentes partes do mundo, este estudo explora a conexão intrínseca entre as fontes de energia renovável e o aumento da atividade mineradora, destacando as implicações desse processo.
