- Mission Efficiency launched PAS at COP30 to double global energy efficiency by 2030 through coordinated actions, policies, and investments.
- Its De-Risking Platform connects investors with projects, making efficiency a scalable, cost-effective climate solution.
Mission Efficiency, a global coalition hosted by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), launched its Plan to Accelerate Doubling Energy Efficiency (PAS) at COP30, aiming to unite governments, businesses, financiers and international organisations behind one of the decade’s most cost-effective climate solutions.
The plan brings together more than 30 international partners and outlines over 50 coordinated actions to strengthen national, subnational and sectoral strategies. It includes roadmaps, policy frameworks, training programs and investment pipelines designed to scale energy-efficient technologies and convert commitments into measurable outcomes.
Mission Efficiency also unveiled the Energy Efficiency De-Risking Platform, a tool that connects investors with projects and standardises risk-reduction measures to unlock capital for efficiency upgrades.
Bruna Cerqueira, Director of the COP30 Action Agenda, said the platform demonstrates a shift from pledges to concrete implementation. “By working together, we can ensure a clean and secure energy future,” she said.
Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO of SEforALL, described energy efficiency as “the fastest, most affordable and most equitable way to cut emissions while improving lives.” Bertrand Piccard, founder of the Solar Impulse Foundation, stated that the plan will help deploy profitable, efficient solutions at scale, thereby boosting jobs and protecting the environment.
Jon Creyts, CEO of RMI, called energy efficiency “the most important lever we’re still not pulling hard enough,” noting that cutting demand is as crucial as expanding renewables. Christine Egan, CEO of CLASP, highlighted the role of appliance efficiency in reducing emissions and costs. Meanwhile, Esther Wang’ombe of Kenya emphasised the role of efficiency in creating jobs, finance, and resilience in Africa.
The coalition’s members include UNIDO, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, WRI, RMI, WWF, CLASP, OECD, the Energy Efficiency Movement, the Solar Impulse Foundation, and the Philippines Department of Energy. Mission Efficiency aims to make energy efficiency a central driver of the global clean energy transition by 2030.
