GFEI at United Nations Climate Summit

The Global Fuel Economy Initiative joined over 120 heads of state, business leaders and civil society representatives at the United Nations Climate Summit on 23 September to make its contribution to the range of commitments aimed at reducing emissions, enhancing resistance to climate change and mobilising resources for environmental action.

The GFEI was highlighted as an ‘Action Announcement’ on sustainable energy in a key session held in the UN General Assembly. GFEI is leading an Energy Efficiency Accelerator contributing to a goal set by the Sustainable Energy for All initiative, to double the global rate of energy efficiency improvement by 2030. As a partnership, GFEI joined a group of governments, businesses and civil society organisations at the Summit pledging to boost action in the energy sector. GFEI is part of the UN’s ‘energy efficiency accelerator platform’ along with initiatives on energy efficiency in other sectors such as buildings and lighting, and action on renewable energy.
