RESUMO:

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction projects, arising from the Kyoto Protocol, should have as a complementary purpose the delivery of co-benefits for sustainable development. Research carried out in developing countries has pointed out the limitations of these projects in order to achieve this objective. Considering that the energy sector plays a critical role in the reduction of GHG emissions, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze opportunities and challenges for the expansion of the co-benefits for sustainable development generated by the wind power CDM projects in Northeast Brazil. The research privileges qualitative research strategies and techniques, being divided into five methodological phases: 1) documentary research carried out in the main CDM database (CDM Pipeline) and in the ABEEólica database on Brazilian wind farms; 2) construction of the research analysis model (framework) and elaboration of the data collection instrument necessary to assess the co-benefits from the projects; 3) ex-ante analysis of the co-benefits declared in the 50 Project Design Documents (PDD) selected; 4) ex-post analysis of the co-benefits perceived by the managers of the 10 projects visited; 5) comparison between ex-ante and ex-post analyzes and identification, categorization and analysis of the opportunities and challenges for increasing the co-benefits delivered. The results show the importance of conducting co-benefits’ studies after the implementation of CDM projects, since the co-benefits declared in the PDDs were much lower than those perceived by the managers. Considering the political-institutional dimension, the main opportunity identified comes from the global level and it is the creation of the Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM) based on the Paris Agreement. And the biggest challenge to be faced is the improvement in the performance of the Brazilian Designated National Authority (DNA). In the environmental dimension, the main co-benefits are the improvement of air quality and the protection of natural resources. Opportunities arise from legal instruments at the national level: the legal reserve and environmental licensing. And the biggest challenge is to improve water management for communities. As for social co-benefits, the main finding is the creation of new jobs, even if they are limited. The opportunities are related to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies and the challenges to be faced are the increase in community participation in the projects and the improvement of their health and safety. Finally, in the economic dimension, the greatest co-benefit is the incentive for local economic growth. The great opportunity that is still underexplored is found at the project level: the possibility of reconciling wind generation with other economic activities, notably solar generation and agricultural activities. And the main challenge, coming from the national level, is the increase in technology transfer.
