This paper examines how industrial policy can help Brazil and South Africa capture greater developmental benefits from solar and wind energy deployment. It considers how each country navigates global trade constraints, particularly under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, and engages with multilateral technology governance platforms such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) Technology Mechanism. It also assesses whether current strategies foster domestic capacity and contribute to a just transition.
