Introduction

Abstract

Climate change is one of the world’s most pressing issues, and most climate scientists agree that the Earth temperature is on track to increase by more than two degrees above pre-industrial levels—thereby inducing flooding of low-lying countries and extreme weather conditions throughout the world, among other severe and irreversible effects—if countries do not reduce their fossil fuels consumption []. That is why in the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (also known as the Paris Agreement), the world leaders have agreed to accelerate the “reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions” through increased adoption of renewable energies [].
