Renewable energy and climate change mitigation
Energy systems for climate change mitigation: A systematic review
Realizing ambitious climate targets, such as limiting global warming to well below 2 °C or even 1.5 °C, requires extreme changes in the mode of production and lifestyle of humankind [1] is an inescapable fact that energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the largest contributor to climate warming, and in turn, energy systems are markedly impressionable to

Strategies for mitigation of climate change: a review
Climate change is defined as the shift in climate patterns mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions from natural systems and human activities. So far, anthropogenic activities have caused about 1.0 °C of global warming above the pre-industrial level and this is likely to reach 1.5 °C between 2030 and 2052 if the current emission rates persist. In 2018, the

A review of renewable energy resources in Nigeria for climate change
Climate change is a major issue of common concern to the international community given its global nature. According to an assessment report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there is now clear evidence that the threats of climate change on the planet demand an immediate increase in the renewable energy (RE)
What''s the difference between climate change
Climate change adaptation and mitigation are both equally important and time-sensitive and we need to do both. You can help mitigate climate change by reducing emissions in your own life, letting your representatives know you
Renewale Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation
In this chapter, we focus on renewable energy sources for climate change mitigation. Whereas the cost of mitigating climate change is increasing by the time, the cost of producing renewable energy is decreasing (Uğurlu, in Understanding complex systems climate change and energy dynamics in the Middle East, pp 259–291, 2019a).Renewable energy
Bracing for Climate Impact: Renewables as a Climate
This paper explores three main areas: Strategic role of renewable energy in climate change adaptation and in mitigation-adaptation synergies. Planning and financing for renewables-based adaptation. The way forward for renewables
Foreign direct investment and renewable energy in climate change
While several studies have examined the effect of energy consumption— particularly renewable energy on CO 2 emissions, there is a dearth of the empirical literature on the nexus between renewable energy and climate change to provide evidence-based policy recommendation. The objective of the study examines the effect of heterogeneous income
Harnessing machine learning for sustainable futures:
Background Renewable energy and climate change are vital aspects of humanity. Energy is needed to sustain life on Earth. The exploration and utilisation of traditional fossil-based energy has led to global warming. The exploration and use of fossil-based energy have significantly contributed to global warming, making the shift to renewable energy crucial for
Climate Change Adaptation vs. Mitigation: What''s the Difference?
In Business and Climate Change, craft beer maker New Belgium Brewing''s Chief Environmental, Social, and Governance Officer Katie Wallace discusses the company''s transition to renewable energy as a mitigation strategy after discovering that coal-powered electricity was its main source of greenhouse gas emissions.
