EasyChair Preprint 14226

Abstract

The transition to renewable energy has gained global momentum as nations seek sustainable solutions to environmental challenges. This study explores the effectiveness of renewable energy policies in enhancing public health and socio-economic welfare. By analyzing data from various regions that have implemented renewable energy initiatives, we assess the correlation between policy interventions and improvements in public health indicators, such as reduced air pollution and associated respiratory diseases. Additionally, the study examines the socio-economic benefits, including job creation, energy affordability, and economic stability, brought about by the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Our findings suggest that well-designed renewable energy policies can significantly mitigate the adverse health effects of environmental pollution while promoting economic growth and social equity. This research underscores the critical role of governmental and institutional frameworks in facilitating a just and sustainable energy transition, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more equitable society.
