Energy Efficiency
Energy use is both a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and a vital component of sustainable development and economic growth. Inefficient and high-carbon energy may help address energy security in the short term but, over the longer term, its associated climate and health impacts may well reverse any gains.
Industrial policies are intended to stimulate development and economic growth, for increasing the competitiveness of local firms and promote structural transformation. An industrial policy design that fulfills these objectives is, therefore, strategic, due to this, CPI analyzes the impact of these policies on energy efficiency and the implementation of energy efficiency and productivity.
