ABSTRACT
It is essential to understand the connection between energy production, greenhouse gas emissions, and global warming. A worldwide sustainability plan has unified several nations under one roof. The paper offers a comprehensive methodology and factors to be taken into account when developing a sustainable energy policy for a country. When assessing the effectiveness of various nations’ efforts to adapt to the production, usage, and consequences of energy sources, the energy trilemma index is frequently used. Nations have varied policies and strategies for reaching sustainable energy goals due to variances in their resources, liabilities, geographic position, stage of development, fuel resources, energy demand, populations, economic growth, and other considerations. There are more and more signs that countries are starting to converge towards a common policy strategy, but there are still a lot of areas that may need improvement. The paper also highlights some important grey areas, including how nuclear and hydro energy are handled, how energy and emissions are accounted for in policy, how emissions are controlled in the transportation sector, how legal provisions for renewable energy are proposed, social responsibilities, energy certificates, embodied energy and emission data, etc. These elements demand that researchers and decision-makers examine this issue from a comprehensive angle. Given this, it is crucial to develop an international, cross-border energy plan that takes into account how the economy and environment affect energy production.
