The Opportunity of Managing Energy Demand

The global renewable energy supply surged by 50% in 2023, but this remarkable increase falls short of meeting the fast growth in energy demand, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies. Effectively managing energy demand could unlock annual savings of up to $2 trillion globally and safeguard net-zero efforts.

What policies, mechanisms and innovations can turn costs into opportunities to reduce energy intensity in sectors and industries?

This session is directly linked to the ongoing work of the World Economic Forum Transforming Energy Demand Initiative, led by the International Business Council, in collaboration with the Centre for Energy and Materials.
