Climate Change and Energy One of the biggest problems facing the world in the 21st century is the secure supply of energy. Today, the way countries produce and use energy is not sustainable. The most obvious proof of this is human climate change. In the world, where energy consumption increased by 40% between 1990 and 2008, 80% of energy is fossil-derived. Dependence on fossil fuels creates a burden on the economy as well as the accumulation of greenhouse gases that cause climate change in the atmosphere. We need to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees in order to prevent irreversible consequences for climate change for both humanity and our planet. Climate Change As a result of the impact of human activities in the atmosphere, global average temperatures increase. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency WWF's goal is to achieve a global transition to 100% renewable energy in 2050. The road to this goal is through the dissemination of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources. Combating Climate Change and Business Businesses can fulfill their demands for energy and other natural resources at every stage, especially in their supply chains and production processes, and therefore each component of their ecological footprint within the limits set by the principle of sustainability.
