Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit 2024: From Versailles to Nairobi

In support of the 9th Global Conference , the IEA developed the Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit 2024: From Versailles to Nairobi. The Toolkit helps governments contribute to the global target of doubling energy efficiency progress by 2030, as agreed in the UAE Consensus reached at COP28 in Dubai and in the Versailles Statement at the IEA’s 8th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency. 

 The 2024 Policy Toolkit focuses on how the global doubling goal can be achieved and provides 12 concrete policy tools that address the efficiency of buildings, appliances, industry and vehicles. The Toolkit also contains a set of ten strategic principles and eight policy packages advanced by the IEA that can help governments seeking to implement efficiency policies rapidly and effectively. Together, these provide governments and other policy stakeholders with the tools needed to devise, implement and monitor strong packages of policies in all major sectors.

Nairobi Business Leaders' Action Plan

At the IEA 9th Global Conference, senior representatives from firms across the globe took part in a business leaders’ roundtable discussion hosted by the Energy Efficiency Movement (the Movement), Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) and the International Business Council from the World Economic Forum (the Forum). The assembled leaders discussed the key steps needed to promote stronger investment and action from the private sector in collaboration with governments, to collectively achieve the doubling goal. 

These discussions formed a key input into the Nairobi Business Leaders' Action Plan for Public-Private Collaboration to Double Energy Efficiency Progress by 2030 (the Nairobi Business Leaders' Action Plan), which was presented to Ministers and the IEA by selected business leaders. The Action Plan consists of five key building blocks intended to drive cooperation and stronger action on key energy efficiency issues.

The Nairobi Business Leaders' Action Plan, authored by the Movement, KAM and the Forum, with inputs from business leaders participating in the event, is available through the link below.
