On March 19, 2025, the FGV Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme, in partnership with the FGV Centre for Global Law, was honored to welcome Professor Marilda Rosado, Professor of Private International Law at the State University of Rio de Janeiro-UERJ.

Professor Marilda's class was divided into two parts. In the first, she presented Global Energy Governance as the intersection of environmental concerns, climate change, energy security, and economic development. Professor Marilda focused the discussion on the role of the oil and gas industry in the energy transition.

The second part of Professor Marilda's lecture addressed the challenges of the energy transition, highlighting fragmentation as a threat to both sustainable development and the energy transition itself. She emphasized that renewable energy regulation is often addressed through isolated, country-specific policies. Additionally, Professor Marilda discussed the role of the BRICS in the energy transition and the cooperation between the BRICS countries to promote a renewable agenda and advocate for international participation.

We sincerely thank Professor Marilda Rosado for an engaging and enriching session on this fundamental topic.
