In the face of escalating global resource challenges, energy autonomy presents a promising paradigm for sustainable development. This concept emphasizes localized, decentralized energy solutions that leverage renewable resources to meet the specific needs of communities, thereby reducing dependency on fossil fuels and centralized power systems. "Energy Autonomy: Local Solutions for Global Resource Challenges" explores the multifaceted benefits of energy independence, including enhanced energy security, economic resilience, and environmental sustainability. successful case studies from diverse geographical contexts, highlighting innovative approaches such as community-owned solar farms, microgrids, and bioenergy initiatives. demonstrate how local solutions can effectively address global issues like climate change, energy poverty, and resource depletion. The research also delves into the technological, economic, and policy frameworks that facilitate the transition towards energy autonomy, identifying key drivers and barriers.
