Abstract:
Geoscience education is not just about the present; It's about creating a sustainable future. The urgency to fully integrate renewable, sustainable and clean energy into our economic, environmental and social capabilities is paramount. The geoscience sector has taken a leading role in promoting the implementation of sustainable energy and its development. This paper, based on a desk study and literature review, attempts to address geoscientific principles of energy storage and distribution, energy efficient technologies and sustainable energy practices, implementation of energy policies to enforce sustainable energy practices, and real-world case studies of sustainable energy growth and development, challenges encountered and new trends in geoscientific commitment to sustainable energy. It particularly emphasizes the importance of geoscience education in addressing the complex energy challenges of the 21st century and highlights its practical application and role in shaping the future. It also highlights the potential of geosciences to create a sustainable future for future generations and inspires hope and inspiration for their role in our world.
