SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Environmental issues have been a cause of concern for more than a century. The environment and ecosystem of Earth are the most fundamental pieces of human life. Nevertheless, due to the rapid growth of the planet’s populace and the associated demand for more resources, these irreplaceable parts of humanity’s existence are being severely damaged. Global warming and climate change are consistently becoming deadlier day by day, not only for humans but for other living creatures. The soil on which plants grow, the food and water we ingest, the air we breathe, and even the light which lets us see are all being polluted without any signs of stopping. To combat this decline in the welfare of the environment, the concept of “sustainability” was created. Sustainability is the pursuit of alternative measures done for the sake of ecological and environmental preservation. Any endeavour done with the objective aim of helping the environment, be it by reducing/diminishing harm or by bettering the environment, equates to sustainable action. Having said that, not all forms of sustainability possess an exactly synonymous ambition. The purpose of this article is mainly to focus on sustainable development in correspondence to climate change, the cause of climate change through global energy usage and its alternatives, all the while considering different points of view.
