ABDI and Nexus Survey Reveals That 75% of Brazilians Trust the Green Economy and See Renewable Energies as the Main Opportunity for Generating Sustainable Jobs. Young People and Those with Higher Education Are the Most Optimistic.
The transition to a sustainable economy — based on renewable energies and clean technologies — has broad popular support in Brazil. According to a survey released by the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI) in partnership with Nexus, three out of four Brazilians believe that the green economy will bring new jobs.
The survey indicates that 75% of respondents trust that the shift to a sustainable economic model will be accompanied by job opportunities, while only 16% express pessimism about this scenario. The research reinforces that the advancement of clean energies is seen not only as an environmental response but also as a solid alternative for social and economic growth.
Positive Expectations Across All Income Levels
According to the study, the perception that the green economy can boost the job market is stronger among higher-income individuals. Among those earning more than five minimum wages, 78% believe that the sustainable transition will create new positions. The same percentage is observed among those earning two to five minimum wages, followed by 76% among individuals with income between one and two minimum wages.

35 countries spent more than 20 billion euros to build the largest nuclear fusion reactor in the world in southern France — the main magnet is so powerful that it could lift an aircraft carrier, and the plasma reaches 150 million degrees.

In the United States, 99% of all new electric capacity in 2026 will be from solar, wind, and batteries — totaling 86 GW in a single year, the largest jump since 2002, while natural gas accounted for only 7%.

The ‘artificial sun’ of China did what physicists said was impossible — it maintained stable plasma at densities that exceed the theoretical limit and took a real step towards unlimited fusion energy.

With US$ 629 billion invested in 1,900 clean energy projects, Brazil consolidates itself as a renewable powerhouse — but still relies on fossil thermal power plants for 15% of its energy matrix.
Even among workers earning up to one minimum wage, optimism remains high: 67% expect an improvement in job availability. These numbers indicate that confidence in the expansion of renewable energies is widespread across all social strata, albeit with different intensities.
Education and Professional Qualification Influence Perception
The study also highlights that education has a direct impact on the outlook for the green economy. Among Brazilians with completed higher education, 79% believe that the transition to a sustainable model will increase job generation. Among those who completed high school, 78% share this opinion, while 68% of respondents with completed elementary education believe that the green economy will bring improvements to the job market.
According to Ricardo Cappelli, president of ABDI, the advancement of renewable energies will require more qualified and better-paid professionals.
“Thus, it is natural that those with more education and income perceive better the opportunities that this change can bring,” he emphasized in an official statement.
The leader’s remarks reinforce the importance of investing in technical and technological education to keep up with the growing demand for professionals prepared to operate in the low-carbon economy.
Gender, Age, and Region Also Shape Brazilians’ Optimism
The survey shows marked differences in perception among demographic groups. Men are more likely (59%) to believe in the creation of new jobs through the green economy than women (49%).
Age also influences views on the subject. The younger individuals, aged 16 to 24 years, are the most optimistic: 62% believe that renewable energies will open new opportunities. The same pattern holds true among those aged 25 to 40 years (59%). Among those aged 41 to 59 years, the confidence rate drops to 49%, and among those over 60 years, it reaches 46%.
Regionally, the numbers remain high. In the Southeast and South, 78% of respondents believe that the green economy will boost employment. In the North and Central-West, the rate reaches 73%. In the Northeast, 67% of residents show the same confidence in the transformative power of renewable energies.
Study Confirms Positive Perception of a Sustainable Future
The ABDI and Nexus survey, conducted between July 14 and 21 of this year, interviewed 2,021 people aged 18 and over across 27 Brazilian states through in-person interviews. The results reinforce that the energy transition, based on clean sources such as solar, wind, and biomass, is not only an environmental trend but a concrete hope for economic and social development.
With the majority of Brazilians believing that the adoption of renewable energies will bring jobs, income, and progress, the country shows greater alignment with the global movement for sustainability and the green economy.
Fui diagnosticada com doença de Parkinson há quatro anos. Por mais de dois anos, dependi da levodopa e de vários outros medicamentos, mas, infelizmente, os sintomas continuaram piorando. Os tremores se tornaram mais perceptíveis e meu equilíbrio e mobilidade começaram a declinar rapidamente. No ano passado, por desespero e esperança, decidi experimentar um programa de tratamento à base de ervas da NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Sinceramente, eu estava cética no início, mas, poucos meses após o início do tratamento, comecei a notar mudanças reais. Meus movimentos ficaram mais suaves, os tremores diminuíram e me senti mais firme ao caminhar. Incrivelmente, também recuperei grande parte da minha energia e confiança. Tem sido uma experiência transformadora. Me sinto mais eu mesma novamente, melhor do que me sentia há anos. Se você ou um ente querido está lutando contra a doença de Parkinson, recomendo muito que você considere a abordagem natural deles. Você pode visitar o site deles em www. naturepathherbalclinic .com.
