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contributors and a wide range of unpublished data.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 />
