Renewable energy sources, sustainability aspects and climate alteration: A comprehensive review

M. Amin Mir, M. Waqar Ashraf, Kim Andrews

Abstract. The increasing global demand for energy is transforming our world into a closely connected community, yet the Earth remains unchanged in its capacity. As the world population seeks more energy to fuel social, economic, and developmental needs, along with health and well-being, the call for sustainable solutions intensifies. Unfortunately, escalating energy consumption contributes to rising greenhouse gas emissions and environmental harm. Embracing renewable energies becomes crucial for combating climate change, but such a shift must be sustainable to fulfill the energy requirements of future generations. A comprehensive strategy combining energy management and renewable sources is required to address these issues. An overview of current energy consumption trends, energy management techniques, and renewable energy sources is provided in this article. The results show that an integrated strategy that includes renewable energy sources and energy management techniques can dramatically reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while also providing economic benefits. The article’s conclusion highlights how important it is to implement an integrated strategy for energy management and renewable energy sources in order to achieve efficient and sustainable energy use.
