Description
Summary:This review analyzes the complex relationship between climate change and energy security and their joint impact on global development. It emphasizes the need for sustainable energy solutions to tackle increasing global warming effects and energy demands. A thorough literature analysis highlights the link between energy policies, climate goals, and sustainable development aspirations. Moreover, it examines the effectiveness of energy policies in various national contexts in promoting environmental sustainability and emphasizing regional dynamics, socio-economic factors, and diverse energy planning approaches. The review explains the multifaceted relationship between climate change, energy security, and environmental protection. Key recommendations related to renewable energy transitions are provided as crucial means to address global energy demand and resource constraints while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The analysis underscores renewable energy’s key role in aligned energy strategies that balance security and sustainability for a low-carbon future. It emphasizes the critical need for coordinated policies, technological innovation, and collaborative action between academia, industry, and policymakers to advance integrated energy systems and thermal storage solutions.
