The Plan brings together more than 30 international partners and over 50 coordinated actions to advance national, subnational, and sectoral strategies for doubling energy efficiency by 2030. It will deliver roadmaps, policy frameworks, training programmes, and investment pipelines to scale efficient technologies and transform commitments into measurable results across countries.
“Energy efficiency is the most important lever we’re still not pulling hard enough. We can’t reach our climate goals by expanding renewables alone—we have to cut demand, without compromising access to modern energy services, and make every unit of energy work harder. The Mission Efficiency Plan is aligning partners and building cooperation around the tools and investments needed to double global efficiency by 2030," said Jon Creyts, CEO of RMI.
The Plan is supported by a broad coalition of leading institutions including UNIDO, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, WRI, CLASP, RMI, WWF, AEEE, OECD-CEFIM, Solar Impulse Foundation, Energy Transitions Commission, Consumers International, C2ES, PEEB, AEE, the Department of Energy of the Philippines, and the Energy Efficiency Movement, among others.
Recognizing that financing remains one of the biggest barriers to scaling action, Mission Efficiency has launched the Energy Efficiency De-Risking Platform, a key component of the Plan designed to connect investors with efficiency projects and standardize tools that reduce risk and unlock capital flows.
"The private sector is key to unlocking energy efficiency now. The Energy Efficiency Movement connects industry leaders to solutions that cut energy use by up to 30% today. Mission Efficiency shows how collective action is vital to doubling progress by 2030," said Mike Umiker, Managing Director, Energy Efficiency Movement.
The Mission Efficiency Plan elevates energy efficiency as both a powerful climate solution and a major investment opportunity – as communities require upgrades to a broad swathe of infrastructure, appliances and services, plus strengthened energy grids to meet growing energy demand and increased resilience against the worst impacts of climate change.
As COP30 — the “Implementation COP” — focuses on translating global pledges into real progress, Mission Efficiency is contributing through its active role in the COP30 Activation Groups, which convene leading initiatives to advance practical, high-impact solutions. Under the Transitioning Energy, Industry, and Transport axis of the COP30 Action Agenda, Mission Efficiency is working with governments, financiers, and technical partners to ensure that energy efficiency becomes central to implementation—linking policy ambition with investment and delivery on the ground.
