Anthropogenic activities, mainly the burning of fossil fuels, have a major role in the rise in greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, making the global climate crisis an urgent problem. The use of renewable energy technologies has been recognized as a key tactic in addressing this environmental issue and lowering the carbon footprint of human activity. With an emphasis on its potential to lower carbon emissions, its difficulties, and its efficacy across a range of industries, this paper examines the role of renewable energy in reducing climate change. This study highlights the significance of switching to cleaner energy systems by looking at renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydropower, and biomass. It also assesses how renewable technologies are currently being adopted globally as well as the laws and plans that can improve their efficiency in lowering carbon emissions.
Keywords: Climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, carbon emissions reduction, renewable energy, carbon footprint, and sustainable energy.
