| Summary: | Human society faces the great challenge of drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions while
providing increased amounts of energy. Although the share of renewable energy sources has increased in
recent years, fossil fuels are still widely used and burning them makes large amounts of carbon dioxide
enter the atmosphere. However, renewable energy sources may not be able to supply in time enough
energy to replace fossil fuels. Under the circumstances, the question arises as to whether nuclear energy
could play a significant role in mitigating climate change. Although there is still confidence and support
for nuclear energy, it is unlikely that this energy source will make a greater contribution to combating
climate change in the coming decades. This study analyzes the current state of nuclear energy, as well as
the development prospects in the context of climate change and risks to the environment and human
health.
