Empowering Brazil's Energy Cooperatives: Creating a Federation and Fostering SDGs

Objective: This study examines the potential of establishing an energy cooperative federation in Brazil. Initially, challenges faced by cooperatives are identified, such as cultural resistance, lack of understanding about distributed generation, and financial difficulties. Theoretical Framework: Accelerating the global energy transition is necessary due to the effects of climate change, which presents a challenge for governments as they must balance conflicting agendas. Energy cooperatives have the potential to promote renewable energies and sustainable urban development and are increasingly growing in Brazil. By promoting unity, knowledge sharing, and collective advocacy, the federation can enhance the cooperatives' efficiency, influence, and resilience. This initiative aligns with multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Method: Online interviews with management teams of Brazilian energy cooperatives and relevant organizations were conducted in 2023 to gather data on the sector's opportunities, challenges, and barriers. Data triangulation with literature provided a comprehensive view, leading to an analysis of key issues and a proposal to strengthen the sector.Results and Discussion: The main difficulties and solutions include: imbalances in relationships with utilities (discussion of legislation and regulation), disputes over taxation (revision of fees), difficulty obtaining resources (facilitated access to financing), high bureaucracy (simplification of processes), and public unfamiliarity (educational programs). Originality/Value: The proposed federation could act as a transformative force, promoting positive changes and shaping a more sustainable and democratic energy landscape in Brazil. Through robust governance structures, transparent practices, and active member engagement, this federation can catalyze innovation, promote equitable access to renewable energy, foster inclusive economic development, and position cooperatives as critical players in achieving sustainable development goals.

Measuring climate vulnerability of tourism-dependent livelihoods: The case of Lamgtang National Park

Climate change poses significant challenges to tourism-dependent communities in mountain regions, threatening their livelihoods and well-being. However, there is a lack of comprehensive assessments that consider the multidimensional nature of vulnerability and the specific socio-cultural contexts of these communities. This study assesses the livelihood vulnerability of tourism-dependent communities in Lamtang National Park exposed to climate change using the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) and the Livelihood Vulnerability Index -Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (LVI-IPCC) framework. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including household surveys (n=119), vulnerability index calculations, and analysis of weather data. The purposive stratified sampling based on ecological gradient and proximity to trekking trails ensured the representativeness of the sample. One hundred nineteen households were surveyed, with respondents from the Hill Janajati ethnic group. Results showed that the majority of households (63%) were tourism-dominant, followed by agriculture-dominant (17%) and mixed livelihood (13%). The LVI results revealed a moderate vulnerability (0.365), with financial and natural capitals being the most vulnerable. The LVI-IPCC analysis showed that the community's adaptive capacity (0.537) is slightly lower than its exposure (0.564), and sensitivity is comparatively low (0.296), resulting in a low LVI-IPCC index (0.01). Weather data analysis, including the Mann-Kendall trend test, Sen's slope analysis, and multi-model ensemble projections, indicated increasing precipitation trends and a warmer, wetter future for the region. The triangulation of LVI, LVI-IPCC, forecast data, and weather station data strengthens the findings and highlights the need for targeted interventions. The projected changes in temperature and precipitation patterns for Rasuwa district and vulnerability status of tourism-dependent communities highlight the urgency of implementing climate change adaptation measures, which may include diversifying livelihoods, improving access to education and training, strengthening social support systems, and promoting sustainable land and water management practices.
