The use of digital twins is even helping scientists to excellently assess the prospect for renewable energy sources. By developing virtual models of possible renewable energy tasks, scientists can emulate the effects on the atmosphere and the usefulness of different projects. This directly permits them to accurately evaluate the potential of renewable energy sources and develop techniques to reduce their environmental effect (Rocca et al. 2020). In order to properly explore of evaluate digital twins it directly helps in mitigating different challenges and the worst effect of environmental conditions. Digital twins have mainly used proper sensors of data in digital modelling and have mainly provided a detailed understanding of increased physical assets of performances and make proper decisions in different climate change aspects.

Moreover, due to less training Augmented reality creates content glitches in creation of 3D objects that do not create a proper anchor in the process of functional expected process.

Due to not creating a proper 3D object directly reduce creation of proper visualisation of climate behavior in reason of a lack training of in data. Thus, it directly creates different troubleshooting problems in the creation of AR activity in navigation process. Another challenge that may impact this process is that limited training content capabilities by Augmented reality. This AR has content limited capabilities in training of different AR technology. This mainly creates of specific activities and involves in detail movements of this overall process (Bauer et al. 2021). Besides this, it is also faced of vendor issues in the creation of an extended reality training process that does not require internal capabilities for developing an AR training program (Sermet and Demir, 2020). A selection of particular vendor issues has mainly provided proper disconnect to the developers and also faced issues in the variance of time zone with limited person collaboration process.

2.5 Make Relation between digital twins and Climate Change

Creation of a proper climate change now a days must have required effective solutions to identify proper source of creation climate change in the environment. Further in order to provide a proper gathering of information related to the environmental issues caused and climate change it must have required proper monitoring and visualization of data that directly help in the solution of climate change. It must have required of creation of proper modelling in identifying data visualization in an effective way (Nativi et al. 2021). Thus, it is capable of implementing digital twins in the entire earth that mainly provide proper resolution of climate change process and easily create accurate prediction of climate decades for future mitigating of global warming process. In this process of concept digital twins, it can serve real thinking in providing a proper potential process of implementing hardware and concrete solution.

Moreover, focusing on crops and incorporating different soil problems make an understanding of consumption and trend analysis of crop yield (Stacchio et al. 2022). Virtual Reality can likewise help ranchers more successfully screen and deal with their yields and domesticated animals. By reproducing various situations and conditions, ranchers can all the more likely plan for unfriendly climates, vermin, and illnesses. For instance, a VR framework that mimics the impacts of the dry season can assist ranchers with creating emergency courses of action and assessing different water system methodologies. Essentially, VR can likewise be utilized to mimic animals' conduct, permitting ranchers to appropriately better figure out their animals' requirements and plans. Besides this, in order to provide proper precision of data analysis and agriculture it may have to integrate VR of different drones and sensors that make it effective of providing farm operations (Hannola et al. 2021). In overlaying of virtual implementation of data and visualization of crop health, soil conditions to make informed decisions of leading process. Further, in the precision approach of agriculture help the farmers in providing proper optimization of use resources, increasing yields and minimising waste.

2.8 The Difference Between Virtual Reality and Digital Twin

Reviewing the potential differences in the overall research process, it can be said that the consequences of virtual reality lie in providing an environmental background that is immersive and simulative.

Based on the theory of virtual reality focuses on an effective cybernetic feedback loop so the same has been effective in implying the virtual space so that an extended set of experiences has been enumerated in this regard. The same also provides effective concepts in adopting the matter ug sustainable energy so that the same reduces the dependencies on fossil fuels, where the primary set of drivers has been regarded as the climate change actions. The theory focuses on virtual reality along with the domain of climate change so that the same creates a strong impact on the underlying users (Markowitz, D.M. and Bailenson, 2021). VR has been regarded as a more immersive and mainstream consequence so the same has been environmental activity has been effective in this regard. Climate change is regarded as having irreversible consequences in the surrounding nature.

Additionally, the theory of the digital twin focuses on the digital representations of the intended real-world applications that serve effectively on several practical consequences so that effective monitoring has taken place in this regard. The effective focus has been enabled in the digital twin so that an extended set of transitions towards the green aspectsthat have been already initiated is almost "1 trillion" so that effective investment has taken place (Baueret al.2021).It provides a detailed set of simulation and observation capabilities to support all the activities so that the challenges encountered in the surrounding environments have been mitigated to some extent.

The deployment towards the Digital Twin helps in reshaping the overall physical world into the virtual digital space so that the same technical support has been effective in met adverse constructions. The same indicates the complex connection so that tangible relationships help in constructing the digital twins so that an extended set of relationships have been maintained throughout the research approach (Lvet al.2022).

2.12 Literature gap

Beside this providing different features and evidence to provide proper support of reaching in research aim of digital twin using climate change with the support of AR-VR, there is some literature gap on it. Though it has provided proper implications of the digital twin in climate change, it has not provided proper help of AR-VR implication effectively to provide proper function in the relevance of climate change. Further, it has faced issues in identifying the proper issues of applying digital twins in climate change.
