According to this report, better energy efficiency can produce substantial benefits for global economic growth, poverty reduction and climate change mitigation. The paper details examples of effective industrial energy efficiency policies and programmes. It provides a list of recommended actions to accelerate the adoption of industrial energy efficiency technologies and practices.

A successful post-Kyoto architecture, regardless of its specifics, should therefore enable these elements see the light of reality.
