Energy Efficiency Actions in Georgia. Short info: The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency is hosting a no-cost webinar series, ‘Think globally, act locally’, in order to explore how energy efficiency policies and actions are linked together at the global, national and local levels of decision-making and how potentially local actions can drive policy and market transformation at the higher levels of governance. Each webinar will start with a global level discussion on the trends and development in the field of energy efficiency, followed by real-life examples of the efforts of a specific city and coutnry to improve energy efficiency through policies and projects implementation. |

Implementation of Energy Efficiency in Ecuador and its impacts. Short info: The depletion of fossil fuels along with the increasing demand of all economic sectors and the effects that energy consumption has on the environment are the main causes for energy efficiency to play a key role regarding competitiveness, sustainable development, climate change mitigation, and energy security. However, in Ecuador there are barriers that still need to be addressed such as high initial investments, lack of engagement of stakeholders, scarce or inexistent information, limited access to efficient technologies and lack of mechanisms for quantification and measurement of the benefits that energy efficiency has. |

Energy access financing. Short info: Demonstrating how to overcome ‘business as usual’ approaches to energy access financing that are currently unable to deliver on our global goals, this webinar on the Poor People’s Energy Outlook (PPEO) 2017 looks at the mix of technologies and funding required to achieve national and global energy access goals - and the roles of the private and public sectors, and civil society, in making this a reality. It will explore the mix of funding needed to realize the people-centered national energy access plans outlined in PPEO 2016; which were based on the energy access priorities expressed by 12 energy-poor communities across Bangladesh, Kenya, and Togo. |

Women greening the energy sector Short info: The Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN), the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and S2 Services invite you to the webinar focused on women's representation as energy professionals, active leaders and contributors to the global green energy supply chain. Good practice examples from India, Nepal, Cameroon and Togo will showcase how women's engagement as technicians, entrepreneurs, and decisionmakers in grid-connected, off-grid and clean cooking initiatives support countries in achieving their national energy and sustainability goals. What is the role of policy in strengthening equal participation in the supply chain? How can private sector and civil society support these processes? |
