What are some global examples of renewable energy challenges?

Many countries face challenges in adopting renewable energy, such as infrastructure limitations, funding, and policy support. For instance, in India, the rapid growth of solar energy has been hindered by grid integration issues.

Can you give more examples of specific countries and their challenges?

Sure! In Germany, the transition to renewable energy has faced challenges related to energy storage and grid stability. Meanwhile, in Brazil, deforestation impacts hydropower generation.

What solutions are being implemented to overcome these challenges?

Countries are investing in energy storage technologies, enhancing grid infrastructure, and creating supportive policies. For example, Germany is focusing on battery storage and smart grid technologies.

How do these challenges affect the SDGs?

These challenges can hinder progress towards SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by limiting access to renewable energy and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
