Doubling offers substantial rewards
IEA has led the call for a global target to double energy efficiency progress this decade

Doubling is within reach of all countries
Over the past 10 years, almost every country has doubled efficiency progress at least once.

Achieving the goal requires action across sectors
Key actions include fuel switching, including electrification; improving the technical efficiency of products
and buildings; and avoided demand through behaviour change and materials efficiency

Policies and technologies for doubling already exist
The technologies needed to achieve a doubling already exist, and
policy thresholds are rapidly moving towards the required level.

The energy transition requires a renewed focus on investment
EMDEs need to ramp up substantially their investment in electrification and energy efficiency to be in line with net
zero scenarios

Zero-carbon-ready buildings are highly energy-efficient and resilient buildings that either use renewable
energy directly or rely on a source of energy supply that can be fully decarbonised, such as electricity or district
energy
