Energy Efficiency 2025 Buildings
How and where is energy used? Total final consumption in 2024 was over 450 EJ and has grown by around 25 EJ since 2019. Buildings account for around 30% of global energy demand and have contributed around 20% of the growth in total demand since 2019. The residential sector makes up about 70% of total energy demand in buildings, while the remaining 30% is used in commercial and public buildings.In advanced economies, most energy in homes is used for space and water heating, together accounting for about 70%. This is followed by the use of electrical appliances, such as refrigerators, televisions…

Electricity 2026 Reliability
…attention from system operators, regulators, and policy leaders. Voltage management increasingly important for power system stability On 28 April 2025 at about 12:33 local time, the Iberian Peninsula suffered a widespread blackout, the largest European outage since the 2003 Italian Peninsula blackout. According to the initial report by ENTSO-E, and the analysis conducted by the Spanish system operator Red Eléctrica and the national authorities within the Committee established by the Spanish Government, the incident was of multifactorial origin, caused by a combination of high voltage volatility, limited reactive absorption at that moment, strong power oscillations, and rapid disconnections…

Energy Efficiency 2024 How is the dumping of inefficient equipment affecting efficiency progress?
…The result is that access to efficient appliances that reduce household energy expenditure is very unevenly distributed.In addition, lower efficiency equipment, both new and second-hand, is typically exported to lower-income countries, thereby hindering the local market's ability to develop more efficient products. This practice, known as environmental dumping, has been defined by the Duke University School of Law as “the practice of exporting to another country or territory products that contain hazardous substances; have environmental performance lower than is in the interest of consumers or that is contrary to the interests of local and global commons…

Transport
Plan for compact urban development with improved public transport and infrastructure for micromobility and active travel
More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. With urbanisation on the rise, urban governance should encompass transport strategies that can induce modal shift towards low-emission transport in order to get in step with the NZE Scenario. The resurgence in active modes of transport during and following the pandemic has provided governments with a policy window to improve and expand infrastructure (e.g. bicycle lanes and car-free zones) and make road re-allocation measures permanent. Transit-oriented development that…
