- Abstract
This research paper delves into the transformative potential of green energy in developing regions like sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, contrasting it with the environmental consequences of the developed world’s reliance on fossil fuels. The primary objectives are to evaluate green energy’s potential to meet developing regions’ energy needs, analyze the environmental hazards of fossil fuel reliance, propose strategies for sustainable infrastructure development, and emphasize harmonious coexistence with nature. The paper also highlights the initiatives of ‘Stichting GREAT The Hague’ in promoting grassroots renewable energy and advocates for a bottom-up approach with indigenous coordination and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for inclusive green infrastructure transition. Through a comparative analysis of green energy and fossil fuel impacts, the paper underscores the urgent need for sustainable development practices, offering valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners involved in sustainable development efforts in developing regions.
