    El dilema de la inacción : riesgos económicos y estrategia en el cambio climático
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Rios Carmona, María José; Chaparro Cardona, Juan Camilo
    This research analyzes the economic incentives that influence international cooperation in response to climate change, using a dynamic game theory model. Through an infinitely repeated game, the strategies of four key actors—United States, China, the European Union, and a coalition of middle-income countries—are evaluated across three rounds (2030, 2040, 2050), incorporating empirical data on GDP, CO₂ emissions, and climate-related costs. The results reveal that although non-cooperation initially prevails, the growing economic impacts of global warming create inflection points where collective action becomes inevitable. This study contributes to the literature by overcoming the limitations of static models, proposing a framework that integrates both asymmetries between countries and temporal dynamics. Furthermore, it incorporates monetary values into the utility function to enable a more realistic and policy-relevant analysis.

    Evaluación de alternativas fotovoltaicas para la descarbonización de la generación termoeléctrica en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025-12-17) Cárdenas Mejía, Cindy Lorena; Gutiérrez Mancilla, Dady Giselle; López Ayala, Tania Cecilia; Ortega Arango, Santiago; NA
    The energy sector is one of the main emitters of greenhouse gases, making its transformation crucial in addressing climate change. In Colombia, although the electricity matrix is primarily based on hydropower, coal-fired plants remain essential to support the system during droughts, especially under El Niño events. This reliance on coal poses a challenge to meeting the country’s climate commitments. This research assesses the feasibility of converting coal-fired power plants into solar photovoltaic generation. The analysis incorporates solar potential in strategic regions, the current conditions of the national electricity system, and international comparative experiences. The results show that, although there is a favorable perception of the energy transition and the use of photovoltaic sources, intermittency emerges as a weakness that affects acceptance and operational reliability. It is concluded that successful transitions require strategic planning, community participation, and labor reconversion to ensure a just transition. Likewise, socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental conditions are decisive for the success of projects. The financial model developed shows that turning coal plants into to large-scale photovoltaic systems (>50 MW) is not currently viable under market conditions, although it improves significantly under scenarios of increased carbon tax and emission reduction certificates. These findings highlight the need for strong public policies and complementary technological solutions to enable the decarbonization of Colombia’s electricity sector.

    La comunicación en la gobernanza para el cambio climático - el caso del carbón en Amagá
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Valencia Bedoya, Andrea del Mar; Cadena Gaitán, Carlos
    After the harmful effects of climate change, decarbonization through energy transition is projected as a great goal for the year 2050, and along this path, climate governance triggers collective actions and interactions which determine how power is exercised to care for the planet. This article, based on a qualitative-interpretive study, investigates the existence of communication conditions for a climate governance in Amagá, a coal mining municipality in the department of Antioquia.

    Participación del gas natural en la transición energética en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Díaz Restrepo, Álvaro; Sanabria González, Juan Carlos; Silva Parra, Víctor Manuel; Mora Cuartas, Andrés Mauricio
    Currently, we live in a world where the need to plan and execute an energetic transition that approaches global warming proactively is growing, and Colombia is no exception. While state organizers have shown great interest in working toward the implementation of an energetic transition that would provide Colombians an environmentally sustainable energy source, the required technological development, ability to invest, and current resources available make it necessary to conduct a thorough analysis to uncover the most comprehensive, efficient, and viable path. Despite the existence of gas deposit records dating back nearly half a century in Colombia, data related to energy used for commercial purposes, such as for household and industrial use, dates back to the 90’s, increasing in demand until in 2024 when consumption surpassed 1,000 GBTU’s. (Asociación Colombiana de Gas Natural, 2024, p. 16). Asociación Colombiana de Gas Natural hereinafter referred to as Naturgas. Today, the country faces a great challenge that consists of being able to present a strategy that would allow for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and build a path toward a less environmentally aggressive energy source and infrastructure. Here is where we must conduct an honest assessment of our ability to innovate, strategize, and execute realistic processes that will allow for this energetic renaissance, taking into consideration our limited manpower, and they must be achievable by the general public. So, while natural gas is also derived from fossils, it’s been proven quite convincingly that it is much less harmful than liquid combustibles. In fact, natural gas helps counteract climate change, given that its use reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 30%-50% when compared to traditional fuels (Naturgas, 2024, p. 43).
