Abstract

The climate crisis has put the world in a highly critical situation and this is the main factor that drives the global switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. It is both a necessity for being able to meet the targets set by the Paris Agreement and for complying with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 7[12, 13]. Our research covers the five major renewable energy sources, solar power, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass. We analyze how these different types of energy can contribute to the sustainability of the environment, economy, and society. Moreover, we examine the case studies of China, Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Iceland, which provide various ways of implementation. For instance, China is investing heavily in infrastructure, while Costa Rica is almost fully powered by renewable energy sources. Major benefits of the research include the creation of 16.2 million jobs worldwide, significant drops in greenhouse gases and air pollution, etc [8, 7, 14]. However, there are still significant issues to be solved concerning grid integration, financing, and policy issues. This study presents and summarizes some recent public opinion data and concludes that in the end, the global public is in favor of this with over 72% supporting a fast transition to renewable energy [15]. This substantial global public opinion imposes on the governments the obligation to act without delay.
