• News 10 November 2016 Energy efficiency can help bridge the emissions gap, says new report Even if the ambitious goals of the Paris and Kigali agreements are achieved, we will still be far from reaching the 2030 emission levels required to avert disaster, according to the recently released Emissions Gap Report (EGR) for 2016.  The report, which will be presented at COP22 in Marrakesh, estimates the 2030 emissions gap as being 12 to 14 gigatonnes above levels needed to limit global warming to 2oC.  In other words, even if the Paris commitments are fully implemented…
• News 9 November 2016 Getting Efficient Faster - the SEforALL Accelerators Energy efficiency has come of age. What used to be a dry technical topic debated only by engineers and sometimes economists now finds a place in the speeches of heads of state. There is a growing and deeper appreciation that using energy more efficiently and more productively is a good thing for people and the planet both. Whether the motivation is fighting climate change, having cleaner air, saving money, or improving energy security, more and more people understand that wasting energy makes…
• News 3 November 2016 Emissions Gap Report 2016 released London, 3 November 2016 – The world must urgently and dramatically increase its ambition to cut roughly a further quarter off predicted 2030 global greenhouse emissions and have any chance of minimizing dangerous climate change, UN Environment said today as it released its annual Emissions Gap report. Made public the day before the Paris Agreement comes into force, the report finds that 2030 emissions are expected to reach 54 to 56 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent – far above the level…
