The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) are bringing together banks, leasing companies, insurance providers, development finance institutions (DFIs) and microfinance institutions for an event on 'Building a Global Energy Efficiency Financing Alliance'. Participants will share business strategies for integrating energy efficiency into investments. The event is intended to highlight the role energy efficiency plays as an economically effective means of combating climate change, especially in the lead-up to the Paris Climate Change Conference where Parties to the UNFCCC are expected to adopt a universal climate change agreement. EBRD and UNEP FI are organizing the event to encourage further investment in energy efficiency and highlight commitments to energy efficiency finance as part of the global response to climate change.
