Fossil Fuels: Environmental and Economic Impacts, Transition Imperative
Received Date: Nov 02, 2025 / Published Date: Nov 29, 2025
Abstract
This compilation of research examines the multifaceted environmental and climate impacts of fossil fuel extraction and combus
tion. Studies detail contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, land degradation, and impacts on freshwater
and marine ecosystems. The economic implications of fossil fuel subsidies and the challenges in transitioning to renewable energy,
especially in developing economies, are explored. Methane emissions from natural gas and the effectiveness of international climate
policies are critically assessed. The research highlights the urgent need for technological innovation, policy reforms, and integrated
approaches to achieve a sustainable, fossil fuel-free energy future.
