Abstract
AbstractThis chapter discusses the concept of internal environmental conflicts from the perspective of negative impacts caused by renewable energy projects in Brazil and Germany. It identifies the significant positive and negative effects based on a literature review to show that the pathway to reducing GHG emissions to protect the climate requires technical and economic feasibility and the prevention of environmental impacts. First, this chapter summarizes the technical aspects and co-benefits of renewable energy sources other than climate protection. It then analyzes the adverse effects of solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass plants in Brazil and Germany, together with connected impacts (energy transmission and storage). Finally, to achieve a conceptual reflection of internal environmental conflicts, this chapter discusses them in the legal analysis, paving the way to find legal solutions in concrete decision-making. Because environmental impacts are numerous and include different areas, the example of the internal conflicts in law is limited to biodiversity effects.
