November 2008: The Steering Committee of the UN Economic
Commission for Europe (UNECE) Energy Efficiency 21 (EE21) project will hold the
12th session of the Ad Hoc Group of Experts on Energy Efficiency Investments
for Climate Change Mitigation in Geneva, Switzerland, on 19 December 2008.

EE21
is a region-wide project to enhance trade and cooperation in energy efficient,
environmentally-sound techniques and management practices in order to help
close the energy efficiency gap between actual practice and best technologies.
It supports the efforts of Central and Eastern Europe and Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS) to enhance their energy efficiency and security to
ease the energy supply constraints of economic transition.
EE21, the successor
of the Energy Efficiency 2000 Project that was launched in 1991, is guided and
monitored by a Steering Committee composed of delegates from national
participating ministries and institutions, international organizations and
donor agencies. The Steering Committee determines the activities, results, work
methods, participation, procedures, budget, calendar of events and timetable of
the project, and secures cooperation from other interested parties.
The 12th
session will consider recent developments in investment projects, assessment of
missions to participating countries, and draft a work plan for 2009. [Meeting Website] [EE21 Website]
