Global Renewable Energy: Challenges and Solutions
By Prof. Manahel Thabet, President of the Economic Forum for Sustainable Development Introduction: The Global Renewal Becoming an Energy Transition Worth Noticing The world’s in a race to try to meet rising energy needs, and into the climate war it has helped unleash. This is why it has never been more urgent that we transition to renewables. Ironically, whether in the form of smart renewables like wind, solar or hydro, the idea that we could bank on profitably ideal blue skied hyper capitalists realising we’re all of us sitting under an economic power tower eating our shorts and move towards actively sustainable energy is perpetually over the horizon. Given a potential for innovation, ignoring it sets up the world’s cooled economies against the heated demands of energy’s impact on global goals seeking sustainability. Action-adventure paths to a low-resilient future must tumble down our streams of the world, carbon cut beyond all remaining play. Current Challenges in Renewable Energy Transition But for under development and energy access issue around the global we are still not yet reach to make sure time when there is electricity at last. Without revenue and in a house where the cost of renewable is higher than economy, commercial performance and energy usage are unreasonably difficult meeting terms. underdeveloped. But the shift to sustainable energy at least opens some space for tech to current storage, grid and technology on the market management of renewables like solar and wind power , especially in newer grids and smart storage. The rest of world is still trying to come into compliance with antiquated infrastructure and base, meaning slow overall system pace as whole transition to get along just fine with renewable energy. Obstacles are also put up by regulations and other government policies that hinder the purchase of clean energy. When policies are not conducive, it leads to slow progress of projects or renders them unviable. It can be difficult for government and business to know what they should do when the law is murky on how accelerating the deployment of clean energy technology should work. There are also major technological and investment limitations. The momentum behind the technological advances and economic benefits of renewable energy will still be full steam. different velocities and that it takes time for costlier ones to emerge in the innovation sector. But the new energy economy has ground largely to a halt, and even at. due to lack of cheap credit and requisite technical knowledge, falling economic return. Proposed Solutions Widespread access to decentralized solar is important because a wider rate of dissemination will have a more profound effect on the ability to provide low-cost, reliable power while avoiding these restrains empowering and enabling social development goals. There can be support for developing countries to subsidies an appropriate level of finance into renewable energy projects in order to provide greater access to clean energy. The infrastructure upgrades need to be worth it and require financial support. Smart grid and energy storage systems are capable of enhancing load balancing. photo Adaptable micro-grids, and rural hydroelectric stations help to re-distribute renewable power. It also spurs the […]

Building Sustainable Cities: Shaping The Future of Urban Mobility
By Prof. Manahel Thabet, President of the Economic Forum for Sustainable Development Introduction: Why Sustainable Cities and Mobility Matter Growing urban populations have forced cities to tackle issues related to limited space, pollution, resource shortages, inequality, and infrastructure. The way we design and navigate cities will significantly determine their long-term sustainability. The Economic Forum For Sustainable Development (EFSD) considers ‘mobility and sustainable cities’ a key priority. We identify and expand strategies worldwide that provide better access, enhanced environmental performance, and social fairness in urban mobility. Cities generate 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, with vehicles being major contributors. Poor planning and inadequate transportation systems lead to urban sprawl, increasing traffic congestion and pollution that diminish quality of life. The future of urban areas lies in sustainable design centered on eco-friendly living patterns, emphasizing public transport, cycling, and walking approaches that reduce emissions and improve people’s lives. Focus Of The Economic Forum: Environmentally Friendly Mobility A primary goal of EFSD is to decrease reliance on private vehicles and promote clean, accessible mobility. We support investment in mass transit, including buses, trains, and subways that can reduce traffic and lower greenhouse gas emissions. We also advocate for walking and cycling (active travel) as healthier and more sustainable alternatives to car use. Urban infrastructure development is essential. Improved infrastructure enhances travel, whether through bike lanes, pedestrian networks, or other sustainable transportation projects. These initiatives both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create safer, healthier urban environments. Reimagining Urban Development To address the climate impact of urban land use and infrastructure, we counter the negative environmental effects of the transition from eco-shut down to geo-shut down equilibrium by enhancing net zero waste efficiency. This involves building cities without long-distance centers. Urban planning should implement responsive center policies that support industrial and techno-economic systems within a narrow range. While differentiated eco-shut down achieved net zero land use impact through urban intensification, responsive center soft supports must balance geo-open center systems with land use fragmentation and urban boundaries to maintain equilibrium between urban geographic structures and climate-responsive geographic structures. Strategies opposing desertification and urbanization should adopt soft responsive closure based on geo-solar and wind closure. Ecosystem interfaces should incorporate stronger responsive closure of urban sub-systems and assimilative waste geographic structures of urban flows, creating non-depleting urban engines. More information is available in the EFSD’s focus area: Sustainable Cities and Mobility. The EFSD’s Role in Global Transition Our purpose is to create forums where policymakers, private-sector leaders, and social change innovators can collaborate on effective solutions. The EFSD develops policy recommendations and takes action through events, research, and dialogue to promote sustainable mobility behavior and urban planning worldwide. The EFSD views sustainable habitat-building as a city-based approach, aiming to develop cities designed for life with excellent environmental footprints and clear social purposes. Success is assured when these three qualities are properly implemented. Conclusion: The Clean and Sustainable Transition Adapting to these cycles involves adjusting to how cities are constructed and reconstructed, requiring flexibility and strategies for sustainable building and movement between urban areas. These elements balance with business growth and social, environmental, and mental health advocacy. The […]
