Public funds are not enough to achieve the energy and climate goals, additional funds are still needed, and public funding should become a catalyst for private financing.
The need to step up investments in sustainable energy, and in particular in energy efficiency, is now more crucial than ever to achieve the clean energy transition and the targets for decarbonization.
The session focussed on energy efficiency, that’s crucial to be able to reach the decarbonization goals. Energy Efficiency is “The first fuel, the fuel you do not have to use.”
