Wind and Solar Energy as Renewable Energy for Sustainable Global Future

Abstract

The world is moving rapidly toward renewable energy sources as a result of the depletion of fossil fuels and growing worries about climate change and environmental degradation. Wind and solar energy are particularly noteworthy as two viable and extensively embraced substitutes that possess the capability to transform our energy terrain and alleviate the consequences of global warming. Wind energy has developed from basic windmills to complex, high-tech wind turbines as a sustainable resource. Encompassing both onshore and offshore wind farms, it is distinguished by its scalability, adaptability, and ability to harness the forces of nature. The hunt for sustainable energy sources has escalated due to the world's growing energy demand and the pressing need to cut greenhouse gas emissions. This route to a sustainable global future will require a well-thought-out plan that combines innovation and policy. This chapter aims to delve into the intricate web of policies and innovations required to foster sustainable development across multiple sectors.
