The Path of Energy Justice in Argentina: Challenges and Risks of Renewable Energies in the Development of Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability
Keywords:
Renewable energy, Sustainability, Energy justice, Technological change, Challenges and risks
Abstract
Nowadays, one of the main problems is the environmental pollution as a result of the widespread use of fossil fuels. In this scenario, there is a certain consensus in the literature that renewable energies are key to stopping the destruction of the planet and to generating an energetic and ecological behavior. However, some recent studies have warned that new technologies are neither innocuous nor free, and they would have negative effects on the socioeconomic field.
This paper aims to reflect on the challenges and risks of renewable energies in order to outline guidelines regarding their production, adoption and distribution in Argentina. In this way, it seeks to research how to promote sustainable development and contribute to the realization of energy justice according to the principles and goals of the Environmental rule of law.
