Climate change is getting more attention in recent years as it is bringing more devastating natural disasters such as heat waves, drought and floods around the world. Human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, which produce heat-trapping gases, are the main driver of climate change. The enormous amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere accelerates the pace of global warming. On the other hand, renewable energy is usually clean and sustainable. Thus, turning down the role of fossil fuel in the energy sector should be a priority and facilitating the use of renewable energy is the best solution to mitigate climate change. To have a clear picture on the current situation, the paper will include a literature review about climate change, greenhouse gases and renewable energy. The methodology, analysis methods and results will be included in the paper. Data collection, pre-processing, data analysis and data visualisation dashboard will be involved during the process. A data analysis dashboard will be created to incorporate the background of the story and the results of the data analysis. The users will be exploring the trends of renewable energy and greenhouse gas emissions with data analysis tools to gain useful insights from the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the renewable energy sources and its necessity to fulfil the energy requirement of real world. Renewable energy is one of the booming industries where it represents a highest impact on increasing the economical status, energy needs, and fighting with the natural climate variations. But, due to their inherent intermittency, some of the renewable energy leaders, such as Wind and Solar they can not full fill the huge demand. Also, there is a grow in aggressive objective of greenhouse gas depletion. Furthermore, the money matters of distributed renewable energy plans are coming up with high competition for the risky environment developers. To solve these kinds of solutions and improve the energy distribution for changing climate intelligent energy storage is used. In addition to that, artificial intelligence is enabled for bringing a novel value streams for renewable energy plans. Adding AI to energy storage increases the returns on investment, provide the control and elasticity of varying prices, etc. Hence this paper insists that the integration of Artificial Intelligence into renewable energy industry is more important for enhancing the economic as well as customer satisfaction.

Energy sources in the world impact the environment, including climate change and global gas emissions, which lead to the development of renewable energy sources. This paper investigates gym equipment as an energy-generation approach to support energy consumption or utilization for a building listed as Net-Zero Energy Building. This alternative method to generate energy sources is based on two gym equipment, i.e., a static bicycle and a treadmill. The mechanical energy will be transformed into electrical energy from an alternator before storing it in a battery. Then, an inverter circuit was designed to convert the DC to AC to power the electrical appliances. Several analyses have been made, including the durability and improvement strategies for the system's stability. Overall, this system has achieved its objectives and generates sufficient energy for a building. This concept is an innovation for power harvesting that appears to generate a renewable energy source and can be applied to any building, primarily in residential areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of urban settlements and the quality of their spaces are related to wide range of different factors, where the basis is natural capital, its components and the benefits provided from them in the form of ecosystem services. The greenery in the city significantly affects the effects of climate change. Green areas are increasing in Slovakia but the cities still do not fully exploit the potential of micro-regulatory ecosystem services. We need to focus more on reducing heat islands, dust, noise, or impacts of weather changes. The impact of greenery in cities has a positive effect on the lives of the inhabitants and urban temperature islands have a negative impact on the health of the people who live in them. The effect of temperature islands can be significantly influenced by "green buildings". We can therefore consider climate change and its negative effects to be one of the greatest threats to stability and prosperity, and it is rightly expected that the urban environment will be threatened to an even greater extent. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to ensure quality of life in the future. Thus, our settlements should not only urgently proceed to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, but also systematically prepare for the expected negative effects of climate change. Mitigation of the negative impacts of climate change is vitally important for our cities. Effective measures reducing greenhouse gas emissions (transition to renewable energy sources, changes in land use, changes in the transport system, increased energy efficiency of buildings or sustainable waste management solutions) are the fundamental topics in this field. The second step of adaptation to climate change includes vulnerability assessments, potential risks in all key areas and measures proposed to reduce the city's vulnerability. Main purpose of this paper is to entirely analyse process of cooperation of the city management with the public and private sector in relation to the implementation of mitigation and adaptation climate measures. Concluding, we are providing proposed and implemented measures and activities in the field of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and their practical demonstrations in the city of Bratislava.

This paper is intended as a brief introduction to climate adaptation in a conference devoted otherwise to the physics of sustainable energy. Whereas mitigation involves measures to reduce the probability of a potential event, such as climate change, adaptation refers to actions that lessen the impact of climate change. Mitigation and adaptation differ in other ways as well. Adaptation does not necessarily have to be implemented immediately to be effective; it only needs to be in place before the threat arrives. Also, adaptation does not necessarily require global, coordinated action; many effective adaptation actions can be local. Some urban communities, because of land-use change and the urban heat-island effect, currently face changes similar to some expected under climate change, such as changes in water availability, heatrelated morbidity, or changes in disease patterns. Concern over those impacts might motivate the implementation of measures that would also help in climate adaptation, despite skepticism among some policy makers about anthropogenic global warming. Studies of ancient civilizations in the southwestern US lends some insight into factors that may or may not be important to successful adaptation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
