Environmental and Social Considerations
摘要
As renewable energy technologies continue to grow in scale and complexity, their interaction with the environment becomes increasingly significant. While these systems are designed to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, their implementation can still lead to environmental disturbances. For instance, large-scale solar farms may require land clearing that affects biodiversity, while wind turbines can pose risks to bird and bat populations. Hydropower projects may alter water ecosystems and disrupt local communities.
