Abstract

The thesis deals with the contribution of wind energy to mitigating the issue of global warming and, by extension, the issue of climate change. In order to recognize the need of utilizing wind energy, as well as other renewable energy sources (RES), we must first understand the dimensions of climate change. For this purpose, the first chapter investigates the anthropogenic causes that contribute to the problem, as well as the effects that are expected if appropriate measures are not taken in time. Realizing the magnitude of the future effects of climate change, also contributes to the recognition of the need to comply with the environmental legislation that has been established for this reason by the UN and the European Union. In addition, through the analysis of the EU energy policy, we can understand the reason why Greece and the rest of the EU countries promote wind energy to such an extent within the framework of the Agenda 2030. For this purpose, the second chapter includes the main international treaties, as well as the main goals that have been set for dealing with climate change, while the third chapter develops the European Union's energy transition strategy towards RES. for the achievement of those objectives. Afterwards, a basic reference to the existing types of RES and their characteristics follows, while the last chapter cites the reasons why wind energy has prevailed in the European and the Greek market. Finally, the main causes that have led to the reduced social acceptance of wind energy in Greece are analyzed and some solutions are proposed to resolve the issue.
