Abstract

Approaching sustainability and achieving its objectives are increasingly common organizational approaches. Renewable energy is a global concern and is addressed in most strategies. This paper offers an extensive literature review on the interrelation between green energy and sustainability. With increased worldwide awareness of the issue of climate change and a decline in the transition to renewable energy sources has become an essential component of sustainable development. The assessment addresses major notions, technological developments, environmental considerations, policies, and future directions of the green energy domain with the objective of creating a well-grounded picture of green energy as the instrument of sustainability. This literature review underscores the intricate relationship between renewable energy and sustainability, emphasizing the need for an integrated approach that considers environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
