Resumen

Esta investigación busca establecer un estudio comparativo entre países seleccionados (Brasil, Estados Unidos, Canadá, Chile y Portugal), sobre aspectos del proceso de licenciamiento ambiental para proyectos hidroeléctricos. Los estudios anteriores consideran que el proceso de licenciamiento ambiental brasileño es muy complejo y diferenciado de los demás países seleccionados. También hay una falta de homogeneidad entre los países encuestados. En general, las licencias ambientales se consideran un "cuello de botella" para el sector eléctrico brasileño. Con este análisis, se pretendió verificar qué tipos de procedimientos existen en otros países y que podrían ser adoptados por Brasil, con el fin de mejorar el proceso de licenciamiento ambiental de las centrales hidroeléctricas. Así, según la experiencia de los países analizados, Brasil podría mejorar las relaciones con los pueblos indígenas y establecer un plazo máximo para finalizar la concesión de licencias de centrales hidroeléctricas. Las experiencias internacionales comparadas son importantes para posibles ajustes en el proceso de licenciamiento brasileño, sin embargo, no se debe confundir la burocracia del proceso con una simplificación excesiva.
