access to investment capital and financing for energy
efficiency in developing countries. The Forum was held New

the Commission of Sustainable Developments as one of its
core themes. Over the two-day session, participants were
able to preset and debate the state of the global energy
efficiency market and to explore its relevance in the
broader global energy debate. Topics addressed included :
energy efficiency issues and opportunities; country
experiences in promoting energy efficiency; market-based
approaches for utility, building and industry sectors;

structures; and mobilizing local capita markets. The key
outcome of the Forum was a call for significant scale-up of
