| Summary: | The document contains the proceedings of
the Energy Investment Forum conference, The Forum was held
to discuss option and explore opportunities for improving
access to investment capital and financing for energy
efficiency in developing countries. The Forum was held New
York City, New York, as a side event to the 14th meeting of
the Commission of Sustainable Developments as one of its
core themes. Over the two-day session, participants were
able to preset and debate the state of the global energy
efficiency market and to explore its relevance in the
broader global energy debate. Topics addressed included :
energy efficiency issues and opportunities; country
experiences in promoting energy efficiency; market-based
approaches for utility, building and industry sectors;
financing energy efficiency; innovative financial
structures; and mobilizing local capita markets. The key
outcome of the Forum was a call for significant scale-up of
energy efficiency investment in the developing world.
Recognize that a kW (Kilowatt) save is cheaper, cleaner and
more immediate than a kW generated, Forum participants
called upon stakeholders to support an aggressive global
campaign to increase the use of energy efficient products
and practices. |
