AEEE at COP30, Belém, Brazil

At the UNFCCC’s 30th Conference of the Parties (COP 30), AEEE will focus on advancing the global ambition to double the rate of energy efficiency improvement by 2030, a key enabler of net-zero pathways. Through its active role in high-level discussions, partnerships, and thematic sessions and side events, AEEE will highlight the role of energy efficiency as the “first fuel” for sustainable growth. The alliance will focus on advancing cross-sectoral collaboration, promoting investment in efficient technologies, and showcasing India’s leadership in the decarbonisation of the built environment, cooling, MSMEs, and other priority sectors. AEEE’s contributions aim to inspire evidence-based policymaking and scalable implementation strategies that drive inclusive, low-carbon development aligned with global climate action.

AEEE invites partners, policymakers, and industry leaders to collaborate at COP 30 in shaping an energy-secure and climate-resilient world.
