IEA assists to implement energy efficiency policies

The International Energy Agency aims to assist governments with their implementation of energy efficiency policies. The IEA's recommendations can lead to substantial cost-effective energy and CO2 savings.

To this end, the IEA has recommended a set of 25 priorities across seven areas: cross-sectoral activity, buildings, appliances, lighting, transport, industry and power utilities.

All of the actions in this package seek to:

*save large amounts of energy at low cost;
*tackle existing market imperfections or barriers;
*address significant gaps in existing policy;
*obtain international consensus.

The IEA estimates that if implemented globally without delay, the proposed actions could save an equivalent to one fifth of the global reference scenario energy-related CO2 emissions in 2030.

Taken together, these measures set out an ambitious road map for improving energy efficiency on a global scale.

Recent meetings of G8 Heads of State (2005 Gleneagles, 2006 St Petersburg, 2007 Heiligendamm and 2008 Hokkaido) reaffirmed the critical role that improved energy efficiency can play in addressing energy security, environmental and economic objectives.
