COP13/MOP3 Side Event

Scaling Up Energy Efficiency under the CDM

Do we Need a "Plan B"?
Friday, 07 December 2007, 13:00 - 15:00
Location: Wind
Energy efficiency is among the cheapest, cleanest and most rapidly deployed energy
resources. This interactive panel session will address prospects for scaling up energy
efficiency CDM and explore other approaches to promote energy efficiency under the
UNFCCC/Kyoto Protocol going forward. The Kyoto framework has not served as much
of a catalyst, and we must do better this time around, since end-use efficiency is on
the lower-cost end of the mitigation spectrum, can be implemented quickly and tends
to have significant sustainable development benefits.
