Examining the Role of Physics in Understanding and Addressing Environmental Challenges, Including Climate Change and Sustainable Energy

Abstract

Physics plays a crucial role in understanding the complex mechanisms underlying environmental challenges such as climate change and sustainable energy. This paper examines the contributions of physical principles and methodologies in addressing environmental concerns, particularly in areas like climate modeling, renewable energy technologies, and energy efficiency. The interdisciplinary nature of physics allows for a comprehensive approach to tackling these global challenges, combining theoretical insights with practical applications. Through an analysis of current research, this study explores how physics informs sustainable solutions and the development of technologies that mitigate environmental degradation. It also discusses the future of physics in the context of sustainable development goals and the transition towards a green economy.
