Abstract:

This study examines the crucial role of climate physics in advancing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13, “Climate Action,” through the incorporation of low-carbon emission energy derived from both traditional and unconventional sources. As the international community grapples with the urgent imperative to address climate change, a profound understanding of the intricate dynamics of climate physics is essential for formulating effective solutions. This research delves into the intricacies of climate physics, exploring how they can be utilized to facilitate the shift towards sustainable energy systems. The investigation draws insights from a spectrum of energy sources, encompassing conventional options like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, alongside nonconventional sources such as geothermal and tidal energy. The primary objective of this study is to showcase the viability and effectiveness of integrating a diverse range of energy resources to mitigate carbon emissions. Through a thorough examination of existing literature and case studies, this project aims to provide a glimpse into the prospective future of energy systems marked by diminished environmental impact and heightened resilience to climate change. By elucidating the synergies between climate physics and sustainable energy technologies, this research endeavours to furnish practical insights for policymakers, energy professionals, and stakeholders engaged in the pursuit of SDG 13. Ultimately, harnessing climate physics as a catalyst for integrating sustainable energy holds substantial potential to propel global initiatives toward a more resilient, low-carbon future.
