About Global Energy Efficiency Alliance:

It aims to double global energy efficiency rates by 2030 and contribute to significant emission reductions.
It also encourages strategic public-private partnerships and bolster investments in energy efficiency initiatives.
This initiative aligns with the ‘UAE Consensus’ from COP28, where all 198 participating countries in COP28, organisations, and companies committed to reducing carbon emissions and minimising natural resource consumption.
The UAE plans to lead the alliance by sharing its expertise in energy efficiency, fostering knowledge transfer, and building effective partnership models with the private sector.
Significance
- The alliance is designed to support the reduction of carbon emissions and the sustainable use of natural resources through knowledge sharing, capacity building, and standardization efforts.
- The alliance will focus on compiling and disseminating best practices, with a particular emphasis on assisting African nations.
- This support will extend to developing financing options and technological solutions vital for the continent’s progress in energy sustainability.
