Abstract :\
Renewable energy has become a central pillar in the pursuit of sustainable
development worldwide, as nations seek alternatives to fossil fuels to address climate
change, energy insecurity, and economic volatility. For Libya, despite its significant
oil and gas reserves, renewable energy represents a vital opportunity to diversify the
economy, enhance energy access, and ensure long-term sustainability. This research
analyzes the role of renewable energy as a strategic force for sustainable development
in Libya, focusing on economic, environmental, and social dimensions. It draws on
secondary data from international organizations and academic literature, supported by
comparative insights from regional and global experiences.
The findings indicate that renewable energy has the potential to support economic
diversification, generate employment, and strengthen energy security.
Environmentally, it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability,
while socially, it enhances equity and resilience in energy access. The study concludes
that renewable energy is not only an alternative energy source but also a strategic
driver for Libya’s long-term sustainable growth.
