Collaboration of Governments in Adhering to Environmental Standards in the Global Sustainable Energy Cycle for Human Health
Keywords:
government participation, realization of the sustainable energy cycle, environmental standardsAbstract
The sustainable energy cycle can reduce dependency on fossil fuels and contribute to environmental preservation. The use of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy, can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming. The aim of this study is to examine the collaboration of governments in adhering to environmental standards within the framework of the global sustainable energy cycle and its impact on human health. This research is fundamental in nature and employs a descriptive-documentary method. Data were obtained from books, journals, and databases, and analyzed through descriptive methods and comparative studies to draw conclusions and test various hypotheses. Throughout the writing process, the principles of textual integrity, honesty, and accuracy have been strictly adhered to. The findings of the study indicate that international law provides a framework for the role and participation of governments in implementing the global sustainable energy cycle. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement serve as primary international agreements that outline countries' commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting clean energy sources. Furthermore, the role of governments in implementing sustainable energy cycles extends to infrastructure development. Governments must ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in place to support the growth of renewable energy resources and ensure that the energy grid can accommodate new clean energy sources. Energy is considered a vital resource for human progress and well-being. However, dominant energy systems are unsustainable and have a significant impact on climate change, making the role of governments in this area crucial.
