Strategic Plan for Advancing Energy Efficiency Across Demand Sectors by 2030
Summary
The Strategic Plan argues that current energy efficiency efforts are insufficient to meet global climate targets and calls for a doubling of the rate of energy intensity improvement and a tripling of annual end-use energy efficiency investments by 2030. It outlines five pillars for progress: buildings, industry, transport, financing, and behavioral changes, emphasizing international cooperation between the G20 and Global South countries. The plan aligns with the G20 New Delhi Leader Declaration and a Voluntary Action Plan to double the global rate of energy efficiency improvement within the decade.
Key insights
- To meet Sustainable Development Goal 7 and Paris Agreement decarbonization goals, the world must double the current rate of energy intensity improvement and increase annual end-use energy efficiency investments to more than three times current levels by 2030.
- The Strategic Plan identifies five primary pillars for delivering energy efficiency progress: the buildings sector, the industrial sector, the transport sector, energy efficiency financing, and behavioral and lifestyle changes.
- Under the Indian Presidency in 2023, G20 Energy Ministers and the G20 New Delhi Leader Declaration committed to a goal of doubling the global rate of energy efficiency improvement by 2030 through a Voluntary Action Plan.
