Transição energética justa para um mundo saudável e livre de combustíveis fósseis

The document advocates for a just energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, emphasizing that this shift must prioritize social and ecological justice to maximize health benefits. It highlights that ending fossil fuel reliance can prevent millions of premature deaths from air pollution and reduce occupational hazards in mining and oil/gas sectors. The briefing proposes three core principles—inclusive decision-making, health impact tracking, and nature restoration—and recommends redirecting the $425 billion annual fossil fuel subsidies toward clean energy and health services.

• Fossil fuel-based energy systems are the primary driver of climate change, accounting for approximately 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
• A just energy transition offers immediate health improvements, including a reduction in occupational diseases such as lung disease and cancer for workers in the coal, oil, and gas sectors, and the remediation of environments near extractive infrastructure.
• Clean energy access is critical for healthcare delivery in vulnerable regions, enabling the use of cold chains for vaccine storage and improving the quality of health facilities.
• The document proposes three guiding principles for a just transition: inclusive and integrated decision-making to correct existing inequalities; the mandatory tracking and economic quantification of health impacts; and the restoration of nature, holding fossil fuel companies accountable for financing remediation.
• Global fossil fuel subsidies total $425 billion annually; redirecting these funds could cover 7.5 times the current global energy access financing gap and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• Urban planning for a fossil-fuel-free world should adopt the '15-minute city' concept and zero-carbon housing to improve mental health, reduce obesity through active transport, and mitigate thermal stress via urban parks.
