The International Energy Agency has predicted that without concerted push from policy, 2/3rds of the economically viable potential to improve energy efficiency in buildings will remain unexploited by 2035. Addressing the challenge of climate change, and achieving the goals set out in the Paris Agreement will require a significant global effort and a significant increase in current levels of funding. Much of this funding will need to come from domestic and private sources. The low carbon growth planned at a global level to mitigate climate change requires financing opportunities, which are often constrained leading to requirement of innovative financing mechanisms to keep fueling the growth with reduced investment requirement. With the passing years, decisions are made that will lock the world in to high carbon development paths for years to come. The deliberations will focus on development of market and financing mechanism for energy efficiency and funding opportunities to meet the sustainable goals. |
