CASOLA, Laura  e  FREIER, Alexander. The climate change-renewable energy nexus in Mercosur. A comparative analysis of Argentina's and Brazil's legislations. Rev. Derecho Estado [online]. 2018, n.40, pp.153-179. ISSN 0122-9893.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01229893.n40.07.

The energy sector is one of the biggest contributors to climate change through the burning of fossil fuels. Therefore, renewable energy represents an alternative to promote sustainable development. In this line, applying a comparative approach, this article analyses the climate change and renewable energy regulations in Argentina and Brazil, as Mercosur's economically and politically most powerful nations, which have shown to be particularly affected by climate change. As a result, this work will examine if domestic regulations give priority to sustainable development or to energy security, in which way Mercosur policies influence national decisions, and if common standards leading to a future regional integration in this field can be observed between the two countries.

Palavras-chave : Climate change; renewable energy; sustainable development; energy security; Mercosur.
