RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AS A WAY OF MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGES

Summary/Abstract: Recently, the energy sector has faced numerous challenges due to the effects of climate change. Primarily, this includes reduced electricity production in hydroelectric plants due to changes in seasonal rainfall distribution, as well as increased electricity consumption for cooling needs, driven by the ongoing trend of rising air temperatures. Additionally, damage to energy facilities and infrastructure from extreme weather events such as ice jams, floods, and others are plausible scenarios worldwide, among many other issues stemming from climate change consequences. One of the primary drivers of climate disruption, specifically global temperature rise, is the increasing presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily from fossil fuel combustion. To mitigate the emission of these harmful gases, limit global warming, and improve ambient air quality, one emerging solution is the expanded use and application of renewable energy sources. This energy approach brings significant environmental preservation benefits, thereby reducing the emission of harmful gases that significantly contribute to global warming. Therefore, this paper will predominantly discuss various benefits of utilizing renewable energy sources, considered
