President, Women's Energy Club of UkraineIn my opinion, the most important step to secure a global green future is to transition to renewable energy sources asap. Transitioning to renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro, would significantly reduce our carbon footprint and help mitigate the impact of climate change.
