SE4ALL initiative will mobilize global action to supports three interlinked objectives to be reached by 2030:

• Ensuring universal access to modern energy services

• Doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency

• Doubling the share of renewable energy

Special Issues related to Developing Countries

• Remove $ subsidies on conventional energy

• Urban Population to double by 2030 in numerous developing countries

Embed EE in new Infrastructures: transport, buildings, network

Design Energy network to decentralized Renewable Energy

EE building codesSynergism between Adaptation & Mitigation 12

Special Issues related to Developing Countries

• Power outage is an extra complication to EE

• Decentralized Energy Systems: Opportunity for advanced energy efficiency

• Example: Combining PV with the most advanced EE design in refrigeration systems

14

In conclusion

• EE needs to be brought to the international Climate Change debate & communities

• 2014-2024 the UN Decade of Sustainable Energy for All

• 2015, COP20 in Paris: our chance for bringing EE on top of the CC & development agenda
