MOZAMBIQUE'S CHALLENGE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN A RENEWABLE ENERGY CONTEXT

Abstract

The declaration of the Millennium Goals poses new and strong challenges for developing countries, such as Mozambique. One of them is sustainable development.  Third world countries are called upon to develop their economies in a sustainable way, i.e., design and implement national policies harmonized with the need to preserve a quality environment taking into account the future relationship between nature and man.  Over the last few decades, several plans have been drawn up with ambitious goals. At the end of the deadlines stipulated, the inability of the countries to achieve the target’s set was recognized. In its place were designed new projects, plans and programs, whose realization resulted again in desire. This scenario has dragged on for several decades and threat becomes a vicious cycle. Hence the pertinent question: what is left for developing countries to break with this vicious cycle and move on to sustainable development? On the other hand, climate change and global warming threaten the continuity of life on planet Earth, requiring a joint and rapid solution from all countries of the world that is in accordance with the gravity of the situation. The aim of this text is to discuss the challenges faced by all the countries of the world, rich and poor, to be able to work together and quickly to adopt a strategy to solve climate and environmental problems that is both effective, balanced and fair.
