Resumen
Este artículo examina el papel potencial de China en la transición ecológica de Brasil, identificando tres áreas clave de cooperación: flujos y mercados ecológicos, tecnologías verdes y políticas industriales y ambientales. Al segmentar la transición ecológica en estos ejes, se busca comprenderla como un sistema complejo que evoluciona en múltiples dimensiones y proyectos interrelacionados. Los ejemplos presentados destacan los avances logrados y las posibles vías para promover políticas hacia una economía baja en carbono. Se plantea la hipótesis de que la cooperación con China puede acelerar la transición ecológica de Brasil en tres sistemas principales: 1) industrialización ecológica e inversiones; 2) acuerdos políticos y políticas conjuntas; y 3) transformación tecnológica. El estudio ofrece una comprensión profunda del complejo contexto de las inversiones y la cooperación de China en la industrialización ecológica y las tecnologías, mediante un análisis exhaustivo de disposiciones legales, políticas gubernamentales y acuerdos internacionales.
ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to examine China's potential role in Brazil's ecological transition process, identifying three fundamental areas of cooperation: ecological flows and markets, green technologies, and related industrial and environmental policies. By segmenting the ecological transition into these axes, the chapter seeks to understand it as a complex system that evolves over time across multiple dimensions and projects, which gradually adapt and intertwine. The examples mentioned in the work highlight the progress made so far and possible pathways to advance transition policies toward a low-carbon economy. The discussion leads to the hypothesis that Brazil's ecological transition process can be accelerated through cooperation with China in three main systems related to ecological transition: 1) cooperation between China and Brazil in ecological industrialization and investments;
2) political agreements and policies between China and Brazil; and 3) cooperation between China and Brazil in technological transformation. The study provides a deep understanding of the complex context of China's investments and cooperation in ecological industrialization and technologies through a comprehensive analysis of legal provisions, government policies, and international agreements.
