This paper provides a novel historical analysis of the resilience of the Brazilian electricity sector through the theoretical lenses of Social-Ecological Systems (SES) and panarchy frameworks.
It explores the dynamic interplay among multiple interconnected factors, including climate change, public policy shifts, external geopolitical influences, and economic pressures.
The research identifies distinct adaptive cycles characterized by unique socio-ecological dynamics, regulatory transformations, and systemic thresholds, offering deep insights into how the sector’s resilience evolved in response to these interacting forces.
Employing a qualitative historical analysis, the study highlights pivotal historical events and policy decisions shaping systemic resilience.
This investigation underscores the significance of adaptive governance, cross-scale interactions, and systemic preparedness in resilience management. The findings advances the application of resilience theories to complex, real-world contexts, providing practical implications for policy makers and infrastructure managers tasked with navigating future climate uncertainties in critical sectors.
