This article develops the renewable energy and sustainable development theme, a topic that is much and much important since the problems that face the fossil fuels related to reserves exhaustions, the high price of new explorations and exploitations, the pollution levels and their impact on climate change (consequence of GHG emissions). Among the aims and objectives of this paper we discuss the renewal energies’ adoption or investments and their implications on sustainable development.
