The Effectiveness of Renewable Energy in Achieving Environmental Protection

Abstract

This research seeks to crystallize the importance of renewable energy and its relationship to environmental protection, by highlighting the environmental risks of using traditional energy sources and the need to find clean, friendly alternatives that help protect the environment from the harmful effects of pollution, global warming, and their disastrous long-term effects. This is achieved by demonstrating their role in meeting the growing demand for energy in the future. Methodology: The study relied on the analytical approach, using both inductive and deductive methods, in analyzing information obtained from previous research, national legislative texts, as well as international declarations and agreements. Results: We concluded that the use of renewable energy in its various sources is no longer a matter of debate; rather, it has become an inevitable matter that the governments of the Middle East and North Africa region must play an important role in activating and developing it, especially those abundantly available, such as solar and wind energy. Furthermore, political and legislative instability, especially in Arab countries, is considered one of the most important challenges and investment obstacles hindering the development of renewable and alternative energy. Conclusion. We recommend the following: Enact strict laws and procedures to combat the depletion of natural resources and protect the environment from pollution. Support political and security stability in least developed countries to enable legislative frameworks for adopting legal systems that support renewable energy. Develop renewable energy sources to avoid potential future energy crises, while promoting the use of this type of energy, particularly in rural and remote areas lacking even the most basic services.
