Energy efficiency is the first fuel of a sustainable global energy system. It can mitigate climate change, improve energy security and grow economies while delivering environmental and social benefits. The IEA works with policy makers and stakeholders across the globe to scale up action on energy efficiency.Energy efficiency is being outpaced by growth in energy demand, but a more efficient world is possible
Energy efficiency in emerging economies
Since 2014, through the Energy Efficiency in Emerging Economies Programme (E4 Programme) the IEA has been working closely with the governments of Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and South Africa as well as with regional and multilateral platforms including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and G20. Collectively the six E4 countries represent more than a third of the world’s current energy use, which is projected to rise to more than 40% of global consumption by 2040.
IEA works on the following fields and more on energy efficiency.
