Socioeconomic and green economy transition in Northeast Brai

Overview

The Northeast region of Brazil is undergoing socioeconomic and environmental transformations. Historically characterized by poverty, drought, and migration, the nine states of the region—including Maranhão, Ceará, and Bahia—have seen shifts in urban growth and economic development in major cities like Recife and Fortaleza.

In response to environmental threats such as desertification and rising sea levels, the ‘Futuros Verdes no Nordeste’ project has been launched. This partnership between the Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS) and the Centro de Estudos e Sistemas Avançados de Recife (CESAR) aims to map economic opportunities for a transition to a low-carbon economy. The initiative focuses on identifying professional training needs and strategic guidelines for sectors including bioeconomy, biomass, and renewable energy, leveraging the region’s significant wind and solar energy capacity.
