The new Brazil country report from EEIST — Energy Transition in Brazil: Innovation, Opportunities, and Risks. This report provides insights on how unique dimensions of the Brazilian landscape and financial situation give scope for effective action towards a low-carbon re-industrialisation. It illustrates in particular that the dynamic nature of low-carbon re-industrialisation offers an opportunity, with ROA a more useful tool than traditional (but impractical) cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to assess the green transition via empirical case studies.

The New Economics of Innovation and Transition: Evaluating Opportunities and Risks highlights that some of the greatest successes in the clean energy transition so far, such as dramatic cost reductions in wind and solar power and LED lighting, have come from policies to shape markets that were not generally those recommended by conventional economic analysis. To replicate these successes, the report calls on policy makers to learn the lessons and think differently about the dynamics of change in our economies.
