Introduction

A number of legislative, policy, economic, and financial barriers remain in order to significantly improve EE and increase uptake of RE. It is important to identify policies and measures that reduce barriers to increasing investment and financing flows to EE and RE projects, with an emphasis on commercial projects and private financing. A valuable aspect is transferability of successful measures in selected countries to other UNECE member States. Particular attention needs to be given to the reasons why EE improvement and uptake of RE are lagging behind what is necessary to achieve climate objectives and sustainable development goals.
