With two-thirds of global energy wasted before it even reaches consumers—and demand rising fast from heavy industry, air conditioning, and data centers—the urgency of scaling up energy efficiency has never been greater. This raises a critical question: how can countries unlock the untapped potential of energy efficiency to cut costs, boost jobs, and strengthen energy security? Experts will share lessons from Türkiye and Mexico on how governments, the private sector, and development partners can work together to attract investment and overcome barriers. Drawing from the World Bank Group’s new report Power More with Less: Scaling up Energy Efficiency for Growth and Security, they will explore practical solutions for middle- and low-income countries.
