We are delighted to invite you to a joint webinar hosted by the International Energy Agency (IEA)/ Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) / UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC): Reducing energy demand - A UK success story? on 20th March from 11-12pm UK time. Register here: https://lnkd.in/eMdkft-i Lead authors of the IEA’s Energy Efficiency 2024 report will outline key findings, with a special focus on the report’s insights on recent successes and challenges in UK energy efficiency policy. The overall report highlights global energy efficiency trends spanning policy, investment and technology deployment. It focuses in particular on the urgent need to accelerate improvements to meet the goal of doubling the annual rate of improvement in energy intensity, agreed by governments at COP28. Professor Nick Eyre and Professor Karen Turner will also join the conversation as discussants: • Professor Nick Eyre: Nick Eyre is a Professor of Energy and Climate Policy at the Environmental Change Institute and Director of the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions. • Professor Karen Turner is the equity theme lead on EDRC and director of the Centre for Energy Policy at the University of Strathclyde. She has also been named as a researcher in UKERC's next funding phase. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eMdkft-i
