Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the forum is to examine the role of energy efficiency policy in addressing energy, economic, and climate challenges. The event provides a platform for policymakers and sector experts to discuss current policy developments, implementation approaches, and opportunities to advance energy efficiency across buildings, industry, transportation, utilities, and other areas of the economy.

Key Activities

The programme brings together representatives from government, industry, research, and civil society to discuss policy priorities and practical approaches for improving energy performance and reducing energy-related costs and emissions.

Significance
