The role of renewable energy in environmental protection for achieving sustainable development and a green economy: A review

Abstract

The aims of this research are to utilize clean and renewable energy sources in the context of sustainable development and the transition to a green economy. Since clean and renewable energy sources are essential for sustainable development and are essential resources that support a wide range of human activities, it is necessary to ensure the sustainability and continuity of the required and sufficient quantity of these resources to meet the needs of present and future generations in a fair manner and in a clean and healthy environment free of all forms of pollution. Compared to traditional depleting energy sources such as coal, oil and other fossil fuels, the generated energies also support energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, environmental sustainability is an essential part of human development. Since the environment is an integral part of our daily lives and its sustainability must be emphasized in the sense that using too little does not meet human needs and using too much leaves negative environmental impacts. In order to preserve traditional non-renewable resources such as coal, oil, etc., renewable energy relies on sustainable natural sources such as the sun, wind, and water. Moreover, the creation of renewable energy reduces waste production compared to traditional power plants, which reduces the occurrence of environmental pollution. Moreover, as countries, regional organizations, and international organizations, the world’s top priority is sustainable development. Moreover, energy is the basic force and active component of all growth and development processes. It is the basic component of all economic sectors and forms part of human existence. Moreover, all energies consumed globally are traditional and unsustainable.
