Within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, several energy options are proffered, including nuclear and indigenous sources of electricity, all geared towards reducing polluting emissions.

The goal is to remove conventional power plants that produce energy but, in the process, generate byproducts that are harmful to the environment.

For the country, the new field is nuclear energy, which, despite the brickbats thrown at it, counts among the most viable solutions to reduce greenhouse gases.

Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar remain largely works in progress due to questions on sustainability that should be addressed when storage batteries with huge capacities become a reality.

Nuclear energy is low-carbon and can be deployed on a large scale at the timescale required, supplying the world with clean, reliable, and affordable electricity.

The government is moving towards a policy that will remove obstacles primarily resulting from political bias on the use of nuclear energy.

The United Nations has dubbed climate change "the defining issue of our time," which the 2015 Paris Agreement aims to mitigate by keeping the rise in global temperatures to well below two °C compared to pre-industrial levels and to limit the rise to 1.5 °C.

This is driven by the scientific consensus that limiting the rise to 1.5 °C would significantly reduce the risks posed by climate change.

Concerted international efforts over the past 20 years to increase the volume of electricity from wind, solar, and other renewable sources failed to displace conventional fuels.

In 2017, fossil fuels produced more electricity, in relative and absolute terms, than ever before.

In its 2018 report, "Global Warming of 1.5 °C," the UN-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that the world will likely breach the 1.5 °C threshold by as early as 2030.
