7TH MEETING OF THE GLOBAL FORUM ON SUSTAINABLE ENERGY (GFSE) Energy Efficiency for Developing Countries  30 October 2007

Energy Efficiency for Developing Countries - Strong Policies and New Technologies

The 7th Meeting of the Global Forum on Sustainable Energy (GFSE-7) will be held from 21 through 23 November 2007, at the Vienna International Centre, in Austria.

Against the backdrop of both climate change concerns and steep energy prices efforts to increase energy efficiency are moving to the forefront of international endeavours.

While enhanced energy and materials efficiency is already embraced by many actors as an avenue for decoupling economic well-being from resource use, large potentials for increasing energy efficiency continue to exist in all regions and at all levels of energy wealth.

GFSE-7 will showcase various experiences, policies and tools. For the area of industry and production UNIDO will be a strategic partner. The EU's initiative to partner with developing countries on energy issues in general and to develop a new set of international instruments to promote energy efficiency in particular will be highlighted. New modalities of financing energy efficiency will be presented.

Please find the conference program and further information in the enclosed document and on the website of the Global Forum on Sustainable Energy.
