Sustainable Energy Supply - GCSE Geography Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Sustainable Energy Supply refers to the methods of producing energy that reduce harm to the environment and support current and future generations. This can be achieved by using energy from sources that are renewable, like the sun, wind, and water. It doesn't release harmful emissions into the atmosphere, which helps reduce pollution and combat climate change. It can also include conserving and reducing energy use, as well as improving energy efficiency. Sustainable energy is important because it ensures that future generations will still have the energy supplies they require, and a protected planet in the long run. By using sustainable energy, we can power our homes, schools, and businesses in a way that protects our planet.
