Utilizing Renewable Energy: Assessing It's Role in Mitigating Climate Change
According to this research, renewable energy can aid in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and encouraging sustainable energy systems. Growing concern over human-induced changes to the atmosphere, particularly the rise in global mean temperatures and the resulting environmental repercussions, emphasizes the need to transition to cleaner energy sources. Methane and nitrous oxide are also significant contributions to global warming, even though carbon dioxide (CO2) is still the most prevalent greenhouse gas. By drastically lowering greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy technologies (RETs) including solar, wind, and hydropower are viable substitutes for fossil fuels. This study evaluates the effectiveness and environmental impact of different renewable energy sources, looking at their potential as well as the obstacles to their broad use, such as issues with technology, the economy, and legislation. The study offers practical suggestions for quickening the switch to renewable energy through case studies and international projects. The results highlight that by reducing energy poverty and generating employment, renewable energy not only slows down climate change but also advances economic growth, especially in developing countries. The study also emphasizes how crucial policy changes are to promoting the broad use of renewable energy technology in order to achieve global climate targets.
