Energy transition, Extractivism, Just transitions, Natural boundaries, Societal boundaries, South AmericaRésumé
This work tries to see if countries are becoming more renewable, efficient, and modern and if this correlates with copper activity and societal factors. As a result, Bolivia has pending tasks on both the energy demand and production sides. Despite presenting good performance on renewables and efficiency, Chile and Peru have pending tasks associated with the ecological distribution regarding mining and energy sectors. Mining-based economies might expose the fragility of green transitions in meeting sustainable goals considering equality, justice, and ecosystem care.
