Abstract
The 21st century poses unprecedented challenges in addressing climate change and environmental degradation, largely driven by the reliance on fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These energy sources contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, resulting in detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems. This paper explores the urgent need to transition to renewable energy technologies—including solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass—as a sustainable alternative. It highlights the economic viability of renewable energy, emphasizing job creation, reduced energy costs, and enhanced energy security. Effective policy frameworks are crucial for fostering the adoption of renewables and phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, thereby mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change and promoting public health. Ultimately, the integration of renewable energy into global energy portfolios is essential for achieving sustainable development and a cleaner future.
