Scaling-up Energy Efficiency and Access to Clean Energy Technologies: Options for International Cooperation

5th December 2007 • Co-organised with United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); International Energy Agency (IEA); Danish Ministry of the Environment

Rapid and global diffusion of energy efficient and renewable energy technologies will play an essential role in mitigating climate change. The International Energy Agency projects that policies that encourage more efficient production and use of energy could contribute 78 percent of avoided CO2 emissions by 2030. Another 12 percent reduction could come from renewable energies and 10 percent from additional nuclear power. In their Technology Needs Assessments (TNA), Non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC have singled out several energy efficiency and clean energy areas where transfer and diffusion of technology would enhance their ability to achieve the objectives of the convention. To what extent intellectual property regimes may be barriers for access to these technologies in developing countries? What are options for enhancing international cooperation and trade in energy efficient and clean energy technologies? What could be expected from new initiatives towards greater energy efficiency and use of clean fuels in emerging economies such as China? These are questions to be addressed by a panel of experts and stakeholders from national, intergovernmental and policy research institutions.
