This book examines the link between climate change and ocean-based renewable energy, emphasizing the need for a transition to sustainable energy sources.
In Climate Change and Ocean Renewable Energy, the authors explore the intricate relationship between climate change and the potential of renewable energy sources derived from oceanic environments. The book delves into how renewable energy, particularly from ocean resources such as tides, waves, and wind, can play a pivotal role in mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. By harnessing these naturally replenished resources, societies can transition away from fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are driving global warming and its associated impacts.
The text also emphasizes the importance of innovation and technology in making renewable energy more accessible and affordable. As outlined in BP's 2018 Energy Outlook, renewable energy is projected to be the fastest-growing energy source, with significant increases expected by 2040. This shift is not only essential for environmental sustainability but also for economic resilience, as new clean energy technologies continue to emerge and evolve.
Furthermore, Climate Change and Ocean Renewable Energy highlights the significance of collaborative efforts, such as the International Conference on Climate Change and Ocean Renewable Energy, in fostering dialogue and knowledge sharing among scientists, researchers, and policymakers. This book serves as a vital resource for understanding the urgent need for a transition to renewable energy and the role that ocean resources can play in addressing the pressing challenges of climate change.
