Resumo

Este artigo aborda, a partir de pesquisa histórico-analítica, as mudanças de curso da política climática indiana no período de cinco décadas que vai de 1972 até 2022. O argumento está organizado em dois eixos: o primeiro aborda a formação e evolução da política de mudanças climáticas da Índia com base em pressupostos desenvolvimentistas, de equidade e autodefesa, considerando a evolução dos interesses, posições e debates internos e internacionais. O segundo examina as políticas adotadas durante os governos Narendra Modi, e as contradições presentes em seus posicionamentos, interesses e relações com o mercado de combustíveis fósseis. Nas considerações finais, oferecemos uma caracterização analítica, apontando para as tensões inerentes à sua trajetória de mudança de uma postura defensiva para uma cooperação ativa nas negociações sobre a mudança do clima. Espera-se assim contribuir com um melhor entendimento sobre a Índia, país de grande relevância para a política externa brasileira, que a despeito da aproximação bilateral recente, segue ainda pouco estudado no Brasil.
