Abstract
Five target countries have been identified as areas to focus on for implementing energy efficiency (EE): Burkina Faso, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Vietnam. The project aims to: (1) Present the case of EE to Canada’s decisionmakers about EE’s strategic contribution to the COP21 objectives and the commitments needed; (2) Identify the countries to be targeted by such support, by assessing their technical potential, cost-effectiveness, political and institutional situations that could enable the highest greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions per dollar invested; and (3) Identify priorities for each of these countries in terms of sectors (residential, commercial, industrial or institutional) and/or potential technologies. In English and French.
