A specialist in energy, Goldemberg advocates for the use of new technologies to promote sustainable development. He has won international prizes, such as the Blue Planet prize awarded by the Asahi Glass Foundation in Japan. He was president of USP from 1986 to 1990, as well as president of the São Paulo Power Company and the Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science.
