Seventy financial institutions from over 20 countries have endorsed a Declaration on Energy Efficiency Finance. The move was taken at a two-day conference in Istanbul, “Building a Global Energy Efficiency Financing Alliance”, held jointly by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and UNEP FI in the run up to the G20 summit in November and COP21 climate talks in Paris in December. Sending a positive signal on the mobilization of the banking sector to step up financing for energy efficiency, the Declaration stays open until the COP21. If you wish to support the Declaration, please contact Annie Degen at annie.degen(at)unep.org
