Generally, wind occurs due to temperature differentials between different areas. For example, different areas will absorb the sun's heat differently causing a temperature differential, e.g., the equator is hotter than the north or south pole. The cooler air of the poles sinks and the warmer air at the equator rises causing a natural flow. Rotation of the earth also contributes to wind - while the pole-equator flow is going on, the earth is turning underneath the air.
Local temperature differentials also cause wind flow, e.g., between sea and land.
