The critical role of renewable energy policies in advancing environmental sustainability goals. As the global community faces the dual challenges of climate change and resource depletion, renewable energy has emerged as a vital component of sustainable development strategies. This study evaluates the effectiveness of various renewable energy policies implemented across different regions and their impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, fostering energy independence, and promoting economic growth. Through a comprehensive review of case studies and policy frameworks, the research identifies key factors that contribute to successful policy outcomes, including government incentives, regulatory support, and public-private partnerships. The importance of aligning renewable energy policies with broader environmental objectives and the need for adaptive strategies to address emerging challenges. The findings underscore that well-designed renewable energy policies not only facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy but also drive innovation and create sustainable economic opportunities. best practices and policy recommendations to enhance the role of renewable energy in achieving long-term environmental sustainability goals.
