The Alliance to Save Energy has launched a new global coalition for advancing energy efficiency to address climate change. The announcement came as the Alliance convened efficiency stakeholders from around the world to kick off the 12th annual Energy Efficiency Global Forum in Washington.
The new EE Global Alliance (EEGA) comprises government, corporate and NGO leaders working to raise the profile of energy efficiency in international energy and climate discussions, with a goal of more quickly and deeply implementing efficiency solutions commensurate with the urgency of climate change.
The International Energy Agency has found that efficiency can account for more than 40% of the carbon reductions required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – but significant policy efforts and investment are needed to increase the scale and speed
of implementation to make this happen.
The EEGA steering committee will be led by representatives from governments, NGOs and private companies, including Canada, Mexico, Morocco, International Energy Agency, Clean Energy Ministerial, International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation, California Energy Commission, Rocky Mountain Institute, Ceres, Global Environment Facility, The Climate Group, World Resources Institute, International Copper Association, Alliance to Save Energy, Danfoss, Johnson Controls, Exelon Utilities, NY Power Authority, Legrand, Trane, World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Dentons, and FIA Foundation, along with Energy Foundation China, European Alliance to Save Energy, Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity, Efficiency Canada, and Deutsche Unternehmensinitiative Energieeffizienz e.V. (DENEFF).
