The Breakthrough Agenda Report 2023 is an annual collaboration between the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the United Nations Climate Change High-Level Champions. It takes stock of emissions reductions in key energy subsectors and focuses on supporting stronger international collaboration to drive faster reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions.
The is a guide for local authorities interested in implementing an EnMS and steers them through a step-by-step approach to: know and understand the ISO 50001 methodology; build a working group within the local authority; define the local authority’s energy policy; correctly share roles and responsibilities among local authority staff; motivate and incentivize politicians and […]
This module aims to help policymakers and regulators understand the potential benefits of and opportunities for improving the efficiency of buildings and give them a background on the key issues to be addressed when developing suitable policies and a framework for implementation.
The purpose of this Guide is to help organizations of all sizes, and in particular SMEs, to improve their energy performance in a logical, controlled and systematic way, thereby saving energy and reducing costs.
This overview of energy mangement for businesses introduces the main energy saving opportunities associated with effective energy management and demonstrates how simple actions can save energy and reduce energy bills.
This guidance note outlines how cities can tap into a wide array of proven technologies, policies, and financing mechanisms to improve energy efficiency and capture cost-effective energy savings in buildings.
This step-by-step guide suggests the key elements that municipal officials need to consider to implement clean energy/energy efficiency projects in waterworks or other municipal operations. It provides information on developing strategies, formulating plans, providing adequate capacity and mobilising resources for successful origination and implementation of a project.
This guide suggests tools cities can deploy to encourage the implementation of building energy efficiency and renewable energy measures by the private sector and citizens.
This guidebook helps practitioners adopt a holistic approach to sustainable neighbourhood design, integrating the design of efficient energy, water, wastewater and solid waste systems, and low energy mobility.
Designing for energy efficiency reduces the overall demand for resources to generate energy. This checklist will help to identify key design issues that will demonstrate whether the proposed design will be energy efficient.
