RT null T1 Increasing Access to and Demand for Energy Efficiency in a Perspective of Sustainable Energy for All A1 United Nations Environment Programme, K1 energy efficiency K1 sustainable energy K1 sustainable consumption K1 cleaner production YR 2012 FD 2012 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/32164 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/32164 NO This paper aims to evaluate how stronger policies towards energy efficiency can contribute to meeting the challenges. It seeks to draw lessons about best practice in energy efficiency policy, picking out key constraints and effective responses to implement energy efficiency. Drawing on this analysis, it assesses the work by UNEP on energy efficiency within the wider practice and on that basis it explores the options for UNEP in positioning its future work in the area. It covers both the implementation of policies for energy efficiency in the economy as a whole and the specific case of ensuring access to energy efficient goods and services in communities recently connected to modern energy systems, normally to electricity distribution and clean fuels for cooking and simple industrial processes.
