Event led by the European Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ECEEE) Industrial and buildings energy use make up some 70 percent of our final energy consumption, and are in need of improved energy performance processes. Addressing that energy use is key to achieving global long-term climate and energy objectives. How are digitalisation and improvements in energy management standards starting to have an impact?

Event led by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Energy Foundation China (EFC) According to the IEA, to reach net zero goals a majority of appliances and cooling systems sold globally should be best in class by 2030. What role can standards play in accelerating appliance energy efficiency globally, and how can we promote harmonisation of standards to meet longterm climate change objectives?

Event led by The Energy Efficiency Hub What have governments learned from their efforts to rapidly scale up energy efficiency measures since early 2022? The Energy Efficiency Hub regularly brings officials and experts from Members together to share their experience. This session will bring a global perspective to policy approaches that have proven effective and challenges that remain.

Energy service companies (ESCOs) deliver energy efficiency projects that are financed through the resulting energy cost savings, and can thus unlock energy efficiency action at scale. This event will explore innovative and digital business models that deliver significant energy savings, and solutions for governments to amplify these approaches.

Event led by the IEA Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative The mounting pressures to decarbonise and electrify, in conjunction with the climate and energy crises, are creating a new imperative for efficiency. How can digitalisation support greater efficiency and fast-track implementation across sectors and systems? This event will explore the role of smart grids for supporting reliable and efficient power systems in emerging and developing countries.

What is the role of the public sector in both acting as a leading example of energy consumption reduction and incentivising broader investments in energy efficiency activities? Opportunities for the public sector to respond to current global challenges will form a core theme of this event, aiming to foster a dialogue on short and medium-term solutions

Despite the wide range of multiple benefits, environmental, economic, and social, provided by energy efficiency, the pace of global annual improvement remains below target. Based on International Energy Agency (IEA) analysis, there is potential for the annual energy efficiency improvement rate to double from its current level in order to be in line with global climate change objectives.

Over the past 12 months we witnessed the first truly global energy crisis, causing disruption in markets and economic pain for consumers and industries worldwide. This panel takes a look back at the global policy and market response to the crisis, to consider how we can boost resilience to future shocks.

Open exclusively to invited CEOs and senior government representatives

Heating and cooling are key sectors for energy transitions, and are central to people’s well-being and comfort. What have we learned about the best policies and actions to drive faster deployment of highly efficient buildings and equipment?

Investment in energy efficiency can, and must, increase dramatically to deliver its potential and get on track for net zero goals. How can governments, investors and other institutions work together to increase the flow of finance to all types of efficiency opportunity?

Open exclusively to invited CEOs and senior government representatives

Digital innovation has the potential to revolutionise energy efficiency, unlocking new opportunities to bring together better control, demand flexibility, systems cost-reduction and to empower consumers. What are the implications of this and what actions are required?

How can governments and industry use the lessons of the global energy crisis to strengthen ambition on energy efficiency and put the world onto a path to net zero? What does a more resilient, efficient economy look like, and what is needed to get there?

Visits hosted by Schneider Electric to discover a range of energy efficiency solutions. Click on this description for further information.

Open exclusively to Ministers and official Heads of Delegation, plus one. Ministers from across the world share insights with each other into how they are working to accelerate policy action to boost energy efficiency for affordability, security and climate action.

Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman, Schneider Electric

Hosted by Schneider Electric A fair energy transition, underpinned by energy efficiency, and enabled by digitalization and electrification, can drive decarbonization while also addressing the energy crisis, reducing costs and increasing security of supply. Governments and companies have had to re-examine their approaches to ensuring future resilience – how can they ensure that efficiency and sustainability are their passport to thriving and making an impact, today and tomorrow?

This interactive session, hosted by Schneider Electric, will build on the discussions and outputs from the Key Minister and CEO Breakouts held on June 7th. Explore additional insights from over on key challenges for energy efficiency and sustainability in action such as stakeholder alignment, data collection, financing, and technology / workforce skills. A practical exchange will then help attendees develop a robust roadmap at three levels: strategize, digitize, and decarbonize Open to all participants. 

Discussion on the crucial role of energy efficiency and low-carbon solutions when providing energy services during post-crisis reconstruction. With a focus on buildings, the discussion examines efforts to rebuild better during and after the war in Ukraine, and after earthquakes in Indonesia, while also drawing on wider experiences internationally. The event aims to showcase adaptable best practices in building reconstruction and modernisation, and to foster a dialogue on short and medium-term solutions.
