Description
Description | The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) is a high-level global forum to promote policies and programs that advance clean energy technology, to share lessons learned and best practices, and to encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy. Initiatives are based on areas of common interest among participating governments and other stakeholders. The CEM is focused on three global climate and energy policy goals:
•Improve energy efficiency worldwide •Enhance clean energy supply •Expand clean energy access |
---|---|
Objectives | Overarching goal is to deploy 10 billion high-efficiency bulbs. Other objectives are: Increasing energy savings – implies a focus on efficiency and stringent criteria for defining efficiency and quality, as well as tracking (technical focus);
Accelerating deployment of advanced lighting – implies a focus on number of products and maximizing number of commitments (focus on messaging, outreach, and promotion strategies); Expanding modern lighting access. |
Activities | |
One or two success stories achieved | More than eight billion LED lighting products pledged toward the 10 billion goal through a public-private volunteer coalition of more than 40 governments, manufacturers, retailers, and expert groups working together.

Together with public and private actors, the Swedish government now races to reduce by half the electricity demand for lighting by 2020 and challenges other countries to follow suit. http://cleanenergyministerial.org/Blog/sweden-challenges-other-countries-to-join-the-global-lighting-challenge-64446 |
