Inter-regional project:
Global Energy Efficiency 21 Project (GEE 21)
In November 2008, the ECE Committee on Sustainable Energy mandated the Global Energy Efficiency 21 Project to transfer the experience of the energy efficiency projects in the ECE region to other regions of the world. The goal of the project is to develop a more systematic exchange of experience on capacity building, policy reforms and investment project finance among countries of the other regions of the world through their UN Regional Commissions in order to promote self-financing energy efficiency improvements that raise economic productivity, diminish fuel poverty and reduce environment air pollution such as greenhouse gas emissions. The expected accomplishments are to increase the capacity of the regional commissions to provide effective energy efficiency services that promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to member States, as well as to improve capacity to develop, adjust and implement a global strategy to promote self-financing energy efficiency improvements.
