A project for saving energy would develop a local audit and would carry out a series of pilot energy saving initiatives.

(d) Promotion of energy saving in buildings and housings

(g) Research and development strategies supporting cost effective energy efficiency and energy saving, renewables, low carbon or safe carbon free energy technologies, and CO2 recovery sequestration

There is also a severe lack of expertise in energy saving technology and design.

Although a major potential for energy saving in the Russian economy, in the order of 40 to 45 per cent, has been identified, very limited information is available on the status of energy saving measures.

Awareness building in energy efficiency measures and the introduction of efficient industrial energy systems is, therefore, required.

Now, besides saving lives, perhaps the greatest benefit of intelligent power is in its energy savings.

They also work with the Institute for Energy Alternatives (IDEA) on energy saving ideas, and more sustainable forms of transportation to and from work.

It is charged with the task of coordinating and implementing the national energy conservation programme and of raising energy awareness.

Other important environmental protection activities consisted of the production of energy saving stoves, soil conservation and termite control.

(f) Increase of CO2 reduction potentials by combining technologies for the use of renewable energies with measures for energy saving and efficient energy use (for example better heating insulation and use of solar energy)

The main focus of these regulations is energy saving measures and the promotion of a good indoor climate in buildings.

In addition, there have been campaigns to raise community awareness of energy efficient cooking methods.

Making more use of renewable and substitution energy sources and of environment friendly and energy saving technologies, as part of the effort to combat desertification and alleviate the effects of drought.

UNDP supports public awareness and other programmes to change traditional attitudes to the use of energy and to promote wider use of renewable energy sources.

Denmark is giving high priority to the issue of energy consumption and ecology in the housing sector and in 1995 enacted a new set of building regulations relating to energy saving resources.

(h) Improved support, including information and counselling, to small and medium sized companies on the possibilities of the use of renewable energies and measures for energy saving and efficient energy use and

Recent developments in wind, solar, tidal, bio energy, geothermal, and fuel cell technology are transforming the scope for low carbon energy production. Aside from saving the planet, these technologies could open up new investment opportunities, deliver affordable energy, and sustain growth.

1999 2002 89 ACWW supported micro projects worldwide in leadership training, literacy, water use and conservation, nutrition health, food livestock, income generation, grants for labour saving equipment and technology, HIV AIDS awareness, credit schemes, FGM awareness.

Some 130 million have been spent on energy and fuel efficiency awareness and advice programmes since 1990.

The review team was also informed that efforts to raise public awareness had been mainly directed towards energy conservation and the improvement of end use energy efficiency.

The main tool used to reach the public has been the electronic media and annual Energy Awareness Weeks.

The programme, which is coordinated by the Cabinet, includes a number of policies and measures with specific emphasis on increased energy efficiency on the supply side and on energy saving programmes on the demand side.

At the United Nations Office at Geneva, an energy saving initiative to control consumption of electricity reduced costs by 160,837 from 2003 to 2004.

Technology oriented actions will need to be complemented with efforts to raise awareness and change behaviour regarding energy consumption.

The Guidelines also elaborate various environmental measures in relation to UNHCR activities, which include consideration of the carrying capacity of the local environment and the protection of environmentally sensitive areas in site selection and camp planning promotion of energy saving stoves, energy saving cooking methods economic and educational programmes designed to reduce fuelwood collection and controlled fuelwood harvesting.

The team found the Energy Saving Trust to be an innovative and potentially significant mechanism for emissions reduction, subject to adequate funding of its activities.

Installation of additional energy saving devices, maintenance of UNFICYP landfill sites and grounds, improvements to reduce the risk of health, safety and fire hazards ( 9,000)

We think about saving. We know we should be saving.

Renewable energy and energy efficiency were cited by many Parties as a means of reducing not only the GHG emissions but also their reliance on imports, consequently saving precious foreign currency for other more needed development purposes.

Accordingly, the Committee should seek convergent ideas on how to raise awareness of the need for alternative sources of energy.

Within the PHARE project of the EU, a public awareness campaign on energy efficiency and the environment is under way.
