Abstract

The climate crisis represents the most consequential challenge of the twenty-first century. Global surface temperatures have risen by approximately 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels, driving increasingly frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, and profound disruptions to ecosystems worldwide. Yet the same era has witnessed an extraordinary transformation in the global energy landscape: the rapid, cost-driven ascent of renewable energy technologies—particularly solar photovoltaics and wind power—that now represent the cheapest sources of electricity ever developed. This article examines the scientific evidence underpinning climate change, analyses the growth trajectory of renewable energy, and explores the policy, economic, and technological pathways through which a transition to a net-zero global economy may be achieved.

Keywords: climate crisis, Global surface
