📋 Tender Overview
Representing Minister Alexandre Silveira, the National Secretary for Energy Transition and Planning of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), Thiago Barral, participated, this Monday (2/09), in the presentation event of FGV Clima, a new applied research center of the São Paulo School of Economics, of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation. The space will focus on the theme of climate economics, with a view to producing information to support public policies.
On the occasion, Barral highlighted that FGV Clima was born with a partnership with the MME in the elaboration of the National Energy Transition Plan (Plante), one of the instruments of the new National Energy Transition Policy (PNTE). Launched last week by President Lula and Minister Alexandre Silveira, the policy came to establish another reference for the actions of the Federal Government that aim to promote social and economic development through the energy transition, in line with the country's climate objectives.
According to Barral, as a strategic partner of the MME’s National Secretariat for Energy Transition, the center will contribute to ensuring that the design of PLANTE represents a fair and inclusive process. “There are many challenges, but we will have the important support of this new FGV center, bringing the tools of climate economics to support the policy that we are building with many hands,” said the MME secretary.
According to Barral, these partnerships are important, since the energy transition has been incorporated into various government policies, including industrial, economic, social, climate and innovation. “All policies are interconnected. I believe that climate economics is a fundamental tool for bringing coherence to the ties between these different sectoral policies, which will ultimately be based on the same vision and the same set of actions,” added Barral.
In addition to producing technical knowledge, FGV Clima will also promote broad, effective and accessible communication of knowledge with strategic stakeholders, such as government agencies, companies, research institutions and civil society.
