26 May 2014: The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released a booklet of 20 energy efficiency policy proposals targeted to the Arab and Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Region. The recommendations cover six sectors: buildings; appliances and equipment; lighting; transport; industry; and cross-sectoral.
The booklet, titled ‘Regional Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations: Arab-Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) Region,’ is a result of a two-day roundtable of regional experts organized by the Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and the League of Arab States.
The booklet also offers a framework for prioritizing individual policies based on their type, sector, relevance, savings, ease of implementation and timeline.
The publication is the first in an IEA series on regional energy efficiency recommendations based on its 2011 ‘25 Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations.’ Similar reports are planned for Southeast Asia, Latin America and emerging economies.
