Nuclear Energy Future in Mitigating Climate Change and Achieving Sustainable Development
Résumé
The growing global population and rising developmental demands have led to increased electricity consumption, primarily from fossil fuel-powered stations, contributing to climate change and necessitating urgent sustainable development. This situation, exacerbated by global warming and its adverse environmental impacts, highlights the escalating demand for energy. As the awareness of climate change has intensified, nuclear energy has gained renewed attention as a key player in mitigating its effects. With global energy consumption being expected to rise substantially, expanding nuclear power plants has become a priority. Nuclear energy presents an opportunity to reduce reliance on fossil fuels while providing a clean and reliable source of electricity. This study investigates the role of nuclear energy in electricity generation, emphasizing its potential as a low-carbon energy source. It underscores the critical need to advance technologies, foster innovation, and enhance safety protocols to ensure energy security. The current study also advocates for increased funding and investment, the establishment and enforcement of effective policies and regulatory frameworks, and the development of human resources and infrastructure. Additionally, it recommends that governments prioritize research into innovative nuclear technologies, collaborate internationally, and accelerate the development and deployment of nuclear energy to support sustainable development.
