ENDNOTES 06 ENERGY EFFICIENCY<br />
ENERGY EFFICIENCY<br />
1 The provided definition is a result of integrating formulations<br />
from International Energy Agency (IEA), Energy Efficiency Market<br />
Report 2015: Market Trends and Medium-Term Prospects (Paris:<br />
2015), https://www.iea.org/publications/freepublications/<br />
publication/MediumTermEnergyefficiencyMarketReport2015.<br />
pdf, and IEA, “Energy Efficiency,” http://www.iea.org/topics/<br />
energyefficiency/, viewed 15 February 2016.<br />
2 Energy efficiency policy and target figures from REN21 Policy<br />
Database. Information on the increased emphasis on energy<br />
efficiency activities from IEA, Capturing the Multiple Benefits of<br />
Energy Efficiency (Paris: 2014), http://www.iea.org/publications/<br />
freepublications/publication/Captur_the_MultiplBenef_<br />
ofEnergyEficiency.pdf. Note: This section is intended to be only<br />
indicative of the overall landscape of policy activity and is not<br />
a definitive reference. Policies listed are generally those that<br />
have been enacted by legislative bodies. Some of the policies<br />
listed may not yet be implemented, or are awaiting detailed<br />
implementing regulations. It is obviously difficult to capture<br />
every policy, so some policies may be unintentionally omitted or<br />
incorrectly listed. Some policies also may be discontinued or very<br />
recently enacted. For the most part, this report does not cover<br />
policies that are still under discussion or formulation, except to<br />
highlight overall trends. Information on policies comes from a<br />
wide variety of sources, including the REN21 1 Gigaton Coalition<br />
Survey 2015, REN21 EAC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency<br />
Status Report 2016, REN21 SADC Renewable Energy and Energy<br />
Efficiency Status Report 2015, REN21 UNECE Renewable Energy<br />
Status Report 2015, World Energy Council Energy Efficiency<br />
Policies and Measures Database, IEA and International<br />
Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Global Renewable Energy<br />
Policies and Measures Database, Asian Development Bank,<br />
press reports, submissions from REN21 regional- and countryspecific<br />
contributors and a wide range of unpublished data. It is<br />
unrealistic to be able to provide detailed references for all sources<br />
here. Figure 42 is based on idem and on numerous sources cited<br />
throughout this section.<br />
