Sign the Letter: Double Energy Efficiency Goals
The Alliance to Save Energy and Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) are leading the North American Energy Efficiency Coalition to coalesce U.S. business support for prioritizing the doubling of energy efficiency improvements as a faster, less expensive, and ready-now climate and economic solution that will be a key outcome at COP 30.
We urge your company or organization to sign on to the letter that will be sent to COP 30 leadership and announced at Climate Week in September.
Our Vision
A world that acts upon energy efficiency as the most impactful solution for mitigating climate while meeting Sustainable Development Goals and growing the global economy.
Our Mission
To create a global energy efficiency (EE) coalition to:
- Drive faster, broader implementation of EE;
- Champion the world’s highest impact EE initiatives;
- Embed EE into global energy and climate discussions;
- Accelerate enabling policy solutions and investment.
-
A Proven Solution
There is wide recognition that we cannot achieve global climate goals without significantly scaling up energy efficiency. The IEA estimates that energy efficiency could provide more than 40% of the emissions abatement required by 2040 to be in line with the Paris Agreement (IEA, 2018).
The IEA found that energy use in the world’s largest economies would have increased by 32% in 2017 had no improvements in energy efficiency occurred (IEA, 2018).
-
And A Wise Investment
Based on energy savings alone, investment in energy efficiency pays back on average by a factor of three (IEA, 2018). If the world employed all known energy efficiency technologies and policies, families would save USD 550 billion in energy costs.
-
That’s Critically Underutilized
But despite its merits, energy efficiency implementation and investment is lagging badly. The percentage of global energy use covered by mandatory energy efficiency policies and regulations grew by only 2% between 2016 and 2017, despite a net increase in global energy demand (IEA 2018).
To stem climate change, annual investment in energy efficiency needs to double between now and 2025, and then double again after 2025 (IEA 2018).
