Abstract : The pressing need to address climate change has fueled remarkable progress in low-carbon technologies (LCTs). This review offers an in-depth analysis of the latest advancements in LCTs, emphasizing their ability to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across diverse sectors such as energy, transportation, industry, and building infrastructure. It explores pivotal technologies, including renewable energy systems, carbon capture and storage (CCS), measures to enhance energy efficiency, and electrification efforts. Furthermore, it delves into the obstacles and prospects associated with implementing these technologies, alongside the policy and economic frameworks that facilitate their integration. The review underscores the importance of innovation, financial investment, and global cooperation in hastening the shift toward a low-carbon economy.

Keywords : Climate Change; Renewable Energy; Innovations; Technologies.
