Climate crisis and clean energy
Climate change is a common occurrence of the world. It is a long-term change in weather conditions in a given location. Climate crisis is a term that refers to global warming and climate change, as well as their implications. Climate change has been a major issue around the world due to the importance of temperatures in all facets of human life. In reality, the climate crisis has a significant impact on both human livelihoods and well being. Rising global temperatures, long-term droughts, and increasingly intense severe tropical storms are only a few signs of the global climate crisis. Examining the origins of the climate crisis is a more critical part of the investigation. Human actions are a significant factor contributing to the climate crisis. By consuming fossil fuels and chopping down rain forests for cultivation and buildings, humans are gradually affecting the atmosphere and the natural temperature equilibrium. Due to these practices, an immense quantity of greenhouse gases is generated in addition to the naturally occurring amount, which has a major impact on global warming, a wide range of consequences of it. The majority of human behaviors are influenced by energy demand and supply. In fact, the climate crisis and energy production are inextricably linked. As an example increase in temperature will likely to increase the energy demand for cooling aspects [1]. Precipitation, sea level, and the extent and magnitude of natural weather will all have an impact on how much energy is made, which would, in turn, have an impact on the climate crisis. Other than that, people need energy for a variety of reasons. The best way to solve this problem is to use more natural or renewable energy sources to meet humanity's inexhaustible energy demands. Wind energy, cloud cover, solar energy from the sun, geothermal energy from heat within the earth, and hydro-power from flowering water are the most well-known renewable energy sources [2]. Even though the effects of some of these energy sources on climate change are still being studied due to the difficulties in modeling them at the required spatial scales, the majority of these sources can be used to reduce the big negative effects of climate change and the energy needs that are linearly related to it [1]. In reality, producing electricity from these sustainable or alternative energy sources has both environmental and economic advantages, as it produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and generates economic growth and employment in manufacturing, production, and other areas [1]. Clean energy can be produced in a variety of ways. One method is to generate energy on-site, which is done at the energy source's spot. Purchasing green power and solar energy is another choice. This entails encouraging customers to buy a portion of their electricity from renewable sources, almost invariably at a premium, or donate funds to the utility's renewable energy fund [3] . Despite the fact that introducing renewable energy initiatives could present technological, financial, and regulatory challenges, overcoming them as quickly as possible will be the best way to address the climate crisis.
To address these types of problems, multinational policies and transformative methods should be used in advance. A nation will use a variety of policy instruments to meet this goal, ranging from productivity and renewable energy requirements to emission controls [4]. Finally, as a result of the reduced amount of climate crisis caused by the widespread use of renewable energy, new green jobs could emerge, helping to alleviate unemployment. Competitiveness would improve, resulting in positive economic development. Cities powered by renewable energy sources would provide cleaner air and more reliable mass transportation networks. When a nation uses its own energy sources within the country, it can protect supplies of energy and other services while relying less on imports [5]. As a result, it is clear that clean or renewable energy would be the only approach to the global change which would save the planet for future generations.
