This book is about environmental and climate legal protection in
the energy transition. The Paris Agreement has a binding commitment
of holding the global temperature increase to 2 DegreesC while
pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5 DegreesC. To cope with the
negative effects of climate changes and mitigate greenhouse gas
emissions, one of the primary responses has been the deployment of
renewable energy sources, transiting from fossil fuels to
sustainable electricity production. However, renewable energy
sources can also cause significant environmental impacts. Wind
energy, for instance, can impact biodiversity, such as birds and
bats, killing them when colliding with turbines and affecting their
migration and nesting. This results in conflicts in environmental
law. This book questions whether, in the energy transition, the
generation of electricity from renewable sources to protect the
climate is compatible with the protection of the environment, both
interests in environmental law. To address this question, this book
follows a legal-environmental perspective and assesses the common
problem of solving those internal environmental conflicts in
Brazilian and German law to understand and compare whether and how
both legal systems solve the conflicts by compatibilizing the
protection of the climate with other environmental interests. The
legal analysis focuses on land-use planning and environmental
licensing, assessing similarities and differences, and evaluating
the results, identifying what one country can learn from the other.
