UAE to Lead Global Energy Efficiency Group, Plans to Double Progress by 2030
The UAE will lead the new Global Energy Efficiency Alliance (GEEA) through its Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, according to a report by Emirates News Agency (WAM) on Thursday.
What is GEEA?
The UAE launched GEEA (Global Energy Efficiency Alliance) at the UN climate summit (COP29) in November last year. Its goal is to help double how fast the world improves energy efficiency by 2030. It also supports the UAE’s plan from COP28 to cut carbon emissions and use fewer resources. The main ideas of GEEA were discussed earlier this year at a major meeting during the 2024 World Government Summit in Dubai.
GEEA matches the UAE’s goal to raise the global energy efficiency growth rate from 2% to more than 4% per year by 2030. Right now, global progress is less than 1.5% per year, which is not enough to meet climate goals.
GEEA wants countries and organizations to work together. It supports other programs like Mission Efficiency and the G20 Energy Transitions Group. The aim is to speed up the move to cleaner and more efficient energy by bringing together governments, businesses, banks, and researchers.
GEEA also gives a space for people to share ideas, money, and solutions. It focuses on key areas like buildings, transport, and industry.
