nuclear power also has negligible greenhouse gas emissions these targets both decrease dependence on fossilfuel energy resources and deliver energy with significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions riso the main opportunities to mitigate climate change in the energy sector are decarbonisation of the power sector and enduse energyefficiency investments for developing countries these options should also lead to enhanced energy security reduced dependence on foreign imports of fossil fuels and creation of local economic activity through renewable power investments in microgrid systems
