Energy Conservation - GCSE Geography Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Last updated

Energy conservation refers to the strategy of using less energy by either reducing its consumption or using it more efficiently. This is essential for sustainable development and environmental protection. In the context of GCSE Geography, energy conservation is important because it helps reduce the impact on natural resources, decreases greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigates climate change. This can be achieved through various methods such as improving insulation in buildings, using energy-efficient appliances, and promoting renewable energy sources. Understanding energy conservation allows students to explore how human activities influence the environment and the strategies that can be implemented to create a more sustainable future.
