Energy Efficiency Takes Center Stage in Nairobi: A Global Call for Doubling Progress!
Leaders and experts from nearly 70 nations converged in Nairobi for the historic 9th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency, marking the first time this crucial event has been held in Africa. Co-hosted by Kenya's Cabinet Secretary of Energy and the International Energy Agency (IEA), the conference focused on the urgent need to double global energy efficiency progress by 2030 – a commitment made at COP28.
Dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the IEA, emphasized:
"Despite the ambition demonstrated at COP28, and good progress in many countries and regions, we are not yet seeing the necessary progress on energy efficiency globally. Governments must speed up action, and the private sector must also play its part. We have seen strong progress, including from countries like Kenya, and I am grateful to Minister Chirchir for his leadership."

Amani Abou Zeid,African Union (AU)Commisioner for Energy and Infrastructure:
"There is need for strategic subsidies that will align with African Union Agenda 2030 of an affordable access to electricity hence a Connected Africa."
Key Takeaways:
- Ambitious Goal, Urgent Action: While ambitious targets were set at COP28, the IEA reveals that current progress is lagging. We need to accelerate our efforts to meet the 2030 deadline and limit global warming to 1.5°C.
- Kenya's Leadership: Kenya is leading the charge in Africa, implementing energy efficiency and conservation plans, clean cooking strategies, and promoting electric mobility. Their commitment is an inspiration for other nations.
- Policy Toolkit for Success: The IEA unveiled a new Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit to guide governments on how to rapidly implement effective policies and achieve the doubling goal.
- Public-Private Collaboration: Businesses and governments pledged to work together more closely to drive energy efficiency progress, recognizing the power of collaboration to accelerate change.
- Energy Efficiency = Savings & Jobs: Achieving the doubling goal could lead to significant savings in energy bills for consumers and create millions of new jobs globally.

Call to Action:
- African States: Embrace energy efficiency as a key pillar of your energy strategies. Implement policies and invest in technologies that reduce energy consumption while promoting economic growth and sustainable development.
- Global Community: Support African nations in their energy efficiency efforts through knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and financial assistance. Recognize the crucial role energy efficiency plays in achieving global climate goals and a sustainable future for all.
The Path Forward:
- Stronger NDCs: Governments are urged to include or strengthen energy efficiency targets in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
- Investment and Technology: Scaling up investment and deploying energy-efficient technologies are crucial for achieving the doubling goal.
- Skills and Capacity Building: We need a skilled workforce to implement energy efficiency measures, so training and knowledge-sharing are paramount.
The Nairobi conference underscored the importance of energy efficiency as a cornerstone of the clean energy transition. By doubling our progress, we can address climate change, improve energy security, reduce energy costs, and create a more sustainable future for all.
