Abstract
One of the most important worldwide issues of the twenty-first century is climate change. It has wide-ranging effects on human health, ecosystems, and the world economy. Since the need for clean energy and the dependability of energy infrastructure are becoming more and more threatened, the energy sector is one of the major areas affected by climate change. This essay investigates the connection between environmental sustainability, energy systems, and climate change. It examines how energy production, consumption, and infrastructure are impacted by climate change, emphasizing the difficulties in adjusting to and reducing these consequences. It also covers the role of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and regulatory frameworks in tackling the interconnected problems of energy sustainability and climate change.
Keywords: Climate Change, Ecosystems, Economy, Energy sector, Environmental sustainability, Renewable energy
