The Business Council for Sustainable Energy committed to advising policymakers in the U.S. on the market, technology and policy issues related to accelerating the scale up of energy efficiency. Climargy pledged to de-risk investments and mobilize investments in energy service companies (ESCOs) and energy efficiency projects.
During COP28, the European Union and the United Arab Emirates'sCOP28 Presidency will launch the Global Pledge on Renewables and Energy Efficiency with the COP28 Presidency, aiming to triple installed renewables capacity and double energy efficiency measures by 2030.
To support this effort, Mission Efficiency launched its own Call to Action, whereby countries, companies and organizations could express their support for establishing a global target of more than double the rate of energy efficiency improvement annually. Those joining the Call to Action also affirmed that tripling investment to more than USD 1.5 trillion per year from 2026 to 2030 is required to meet this target.
Beyond simply advocating for these targets, the Mission Efficiency Call to Action encouraged those joining to submit concrete pledges or UN Energy Compacts for how they will contribute to energy efficiency progress. The first series of pledges were unveiled during a roundtable on the sidelines of COP28 that was hosted by The Business Council for Sustainable Energy, Edison Electric Institute, Mission Efficiency, and Sustainable Energy for All.
Mission Efficiency partners will be discussing these pledges and COP28's impact on energy efficiency during a press conference on December 9 from 15:30-16:00 GST in Press Conference Room 2, Zone B6 – Building 77 in the Blue Zone at COP28.
