=== Impact of climate change on renewable energy production ===
Climate change is making weather patterns less predictable. This can seriously hamper the use of renewable energy. For example, in the year 2023, in Sudan and Namibia, hydropower production dropped by more than half due to drastic reduction in rainfall, in China, India and some regions in Africa unusual weather phenomena reduced the amount of produced wind energy, heatwaves and clouds reduce the effectiveness of solar pannels, melting glaciers are creating problems to hydropower. Nuclear energy is also affected as drought create water shortage, so nuclear power plants sometimes do not have enough water for cooling.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Quinones |first1=Laura |title=Can renewable energy survive climate change? |url=https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/03/1161526 |website=United Nations |date=26 March 2025 |access-date=26 March 2025}}</ref>
