Implementing energy savings programmes

Description

Implementing energy savings programmes involves designing and executing targeted measures to reduce energy consumption across sectors such as industry, transport, and households. This strategy focuses on practical actions like upgrading equipment, optimizing processes, promoting energy-efficient technologies, and encouraging behavioral change. Its core purpose is to lower energy costs, decrease environmental impact, and enhance resource sustainability by systematically identifying inefficiencies and applying solutions that directly address excessive or wasteful energy use.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
