Abstract: Energy is an important accessory for the development and sustainable growth. Changes in climatic conditions is arguably the biggest challenge the environment is facing around the world today. Climate Change has resulted in a the rise in temperatures globally. Making use of quantitative cum descriptive analytical methods, this research intends to address climate change using renewable energy. This will be done in a way that will also held deal with issues that might arise from the substitution of Fossil Fuel with Renewable Energy. A sample of 240 students in secondary schools in Nigeria and 205 University students in Northern Cyprus was used used in the data gathering process for this research. Findings, revealed that 82% of Nigerian international university students are cognizant of the fundamentals of climate change and how it affects the nation’s economy. In addition it was also noted countries with crude oil as their sole source of foreign exchange would be impacted by the switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Therefore, the research work implies that internalized knowledge of climate change and mounting anxiety result in a personal tipping point that prompts action.
