Summary of the syllabus for the Module:
This Module will focus on explaining the concept of energy transformation

regarding to combat the climate change. The transition to natural energy
seems to be the key solution to prevent irreversible climate change. Scientists
predict that if the status quo is maintained there will be irreversible changes in
nature in just ten years. The need to stop climate change and rethink energy
strategy has been talked about since the 1970s. However, it is only recently that
these changes have become more comprehensive by incorporating general
and specific recommendations (solutions) into legislation, both national and
international. A large role is played here by various types of international

agreements, which have resulted in the development of directives and lower-
level strategies to stop climate change. By implementing comprehensive
solutions, politicians hope to halt irreversible climate change.
The transition to natural energy can positively affect all the economy, the
environment and the citizens of the European Union, however it requires huge
effort to implement into the economy. When correctly applied, it can become
a crucial parameter for sustainable growth (in economic, social and
environmental dimension).
There are many ways of producing energy with concrete consequences for
both society and the individual citizen. This account takes into account both

the satisfaction of needs for electricity, the availability of resources from which
it is produced, and the cost of producing it. This last element has not only a
