Resumen

La dinámica de las relaciones comerciales energéticas entre la Unión Europea (UE) y Azerbaiyán es objeto de debate debido al suministro de energía tras el estallido del conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania. Estas relaciones se analizan a la luz del Green Deal europeo, que pretende transformar la economía de la UE en una economía neutra en carbono para 2050. A pesar de los esfuerzos europeos por promover las fuentes de energía renovables, la dependencia del gas natural sigue siendo una realidad estratégica, lo que hace controvertido el acuerdo con Azerbaiyán, un petroestado con un historial negativo en materia de derechos humanos. La investigación se basa en un análisis bibliográfico y documental, y se centra también en un estudio de caso (las relaciones UE-Azerbaiyán). Se trata, por tanto, de un estudio descriptivo con un enfoque cualitativo. En este sentido, aborda las críticas y los retos a los que se enfrenta esta cooperación, destacando las posibles alternativas para que la UE reduzca su dependencia de los combustibles fósiles. La conclusión es que, para alcanzar los objetivos del Pacto Verde Europeo, la UE necesita encontrar un equilibrio entre la diversificación de sus fuentes de energía y la adhesión a principios éticos. Hay que acelerar la transición a las energías renovables e integrar políticas estrictas de derechos humanos en los acuerdos internacionales para garantizar un enfoque verdaderamente sostenible.
