The EE Global Alliance

Uniting the voice of energy efficiency to facilitate broader and deeper implementation of EE solutions.

Why energy efficiency?

Energy efficiency is the most impactful solution for mitigating climate change while meeting development goals and growing the global economy.

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).

Sustainable Energy For All
- Yes, please contact me about opportunities to work with the UN SE4All energy efficiency accelerators!
The Global Alliance for Energy Productivity is partnering with the United Nations Secretary-General’s Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) Initiative, a multi-stakeholder partnership to identify and mobilize action in support of energy access, energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy. Check the box above if you are interested in submitting your commitment to the SE4All initiative, and its goal of doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency. Your commitment will be considered for featuring during the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21) to be held in Paris in December 2015. Visit www.SE4All.org for more resources and information about improving energy efficiency.
