The Future of Fossil Energy Sources and The Change of Global Energy Policies

Abstract

Fossil resources form the basis of energy policies. In this study, fossil energy consumption, environmental effects and new energy policies are included. Increased energy consumption has been studied in many ways. The relationship between fossil resources and climate change was investigated and the effects of carbon dioxide emissions were examined. The efforts of the International Energy Agency to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy have been emphasized. The Paris Climate Agreement, which came into force in order to reduce the effects of global warming and stop the bad situation, was examined and its importance for the states was analyzed.
