Call To Action - Mission Efficiency

Mission Efficiency Call to Action

COP28 stood out as a pivotal moment in a year market by a rising momentum on energy efficiency. Prior to COP28, Mission Efficiency called on Parties to the Paris Agreement to commit to more than doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements annually by 2030. In pursuit of this target, Mission Efficiency is now calling on world leaders to further commit and define actions to create an energy effici ent world.

Join the Call

We, as Mission Efficiency partners:

CALL on Parties to the Paris Agreement to agree on a global target of more than double the rate of energy efficiency improvement annually, aligned with the IEA's call to achieve an annual improvement of 4% energy intensity to limit global warming to 1.5 C.
AFFIRM that tripling investment to more than USD 1.8 trillion per year by 2030 is required to meet this target and CALL on multilateral development banks, central and commercial banks, and investors to ramp up investment in energy efficiency.
RECOGNIZE that private sector participation is critical to hit this target and energy efficiency is a strategic priority for business and industry, and CALL on private sector partners to commit to investing in and delivering this target across sectors and geographies.

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

NDCs contain information on targets, and policies and measures for reducing national emissions and on adapting to climate change impacts. The Paris Agreement (Article 4, paragraph 2) requires each Party to prepare, communicate and maintain successive NDCs that it intends to achieve.

Mission Efficiency collaborates with the NDC Partnership to enhance, update and include energy efficiency targets on NDCs. Please contact [email protected] for any queries.
