Partner Spotlight: Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency

The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency serves as the energy efficiency hub for Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), focusing on creating and disseminating knowledge to scale energy efficiency actions globally. The Centre operates as a collaborating centre of the UN Environment Programme and part of the UNEP-DTU Partnership. Its primary activities include providing technical assistance to cities and countries, supporting the SEforALL Global Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform across sectors such as buildings, industry, and transport, and co-hosting the EE Global Forum to increase momentum for energy efficiency as a primary driver of the clean energy transition and Sustainable Development Goal 7.

• The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency aims to accelerate the deployment of energy efficiency by creating knowledge and new models for implementation, providing technical assistance to countries and cities, and facilitating connections with service and technology providers.
• The Centre is operationally integrated into the UN System as a collaborating centre of the UN Environment Programme and is part of the Denmark-based UNEP-DTU Partnership.
• Energy efficiency is identified as the most cost-effective and rapid opportunity to support the clean energy transition, providing a multiplier effect for renewable energy penetration and energy access, as well as benefits for health, productivity, and climate action.
• The Centre supports the SEforALL Global Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform, which consists of six public-private partnerships targeting high energy use sectors: buildings, industry, transport, district heating and cooling, lighting, and appliances and equipment (including motor vehicles).
• In May 2018, the Centre co-hosted the EE Global Forum in Copenhagen, which gathered participants from more than 50 countries to prioritize energy efficiency within the clean energy discourse.
