Energy use is a widespread phenomenon that is an integral part of the daily lives of all human beings. Due to its importance in our lives, it can be said that it is a fundamental human right to have access to clean energy, which is of tremendous significance for individuals, communities, and the world as a whole. There is a significant contribution that clean energy sources, such as renewable energy, provide to the reduction of climate change, the enhancement of public health, the promotion of economic development, and the advancement of social fairness. It is necessary to acknowledge the intrinsic dignity and well-being of every individual in order to recognize clean energy as a human right. Additionally, it is necessary to guarantee that all individuals have equal access to energy sources that are both sustainable and inexpensive. Access to clean energy is essential not only for mitigating climate change but also as an inherent human entitlement that spans environmental, health, economic, and social aspects. Through the use of renewable energy sources and guaranteeing equal availability, we may cultivate a fairer and environmentally-friendly global community.
