Global Energy Efficiency and Construction Outreach Programme (GLECOP)


The Global Energy Efficiency and Construction Outreach Programme (GLECOP) contributes to low-emission, energy-efficient and resilient development of the building sector at a global scale. It supports two initiatives, the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction and the Energy Efficiency in Emerging Economies Programme. With its support, Switzerland aims to leverage successful practices from its bilateral projects at the global level to strengthen energy efficiency policies in the buildings sector.

Contexto Limiting global warming to 1.5°C under the Paris Agreement on climate change is an important prerequisite for securing development gains and reducing poverty, but urgently requires drastic emission reductions. Much of the potential for saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions lies in the building sector. Against a backdrop of population growth and increasing purchasing power, the global building stock in terms of floor space and demand for energy services in buildings is expected to double globally by 2050. If we continue as we are, it is highly unlikely that the target set in the Paris Agreement (limiting global warming to 1.5°C) can be met. The building sector can only be decarbonised through a three-pronged strategy, i.e. a combination of reducing energy demand for running the buildings, de-carbonising energy supply and reducing embodied carbon stored in building materials. Investing in energy efficiency is the most important strategy for a transition to an energy system that delivers affordable, reliable and clean energy for all. Over the past years, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation has been supporting different projects with the goal to increase energy efficiency in the built environment. Through this second phase of the programme, evidence and learnings from Swiss projects can be leveraged and shared at a global level through a contribution to the Global Alliance for Buildings (GlobalABC) and the Construction and the Energy Efficiency in Emerging Economies programme of the International Energy Agency (IEA). 
Objetivos The overall objective of the GLECOP is to contribute to low-emission development by supporting policies, strategies and plans to promote energy efficiency and decarbonise the building and construction sector, and by leveraging best practices and lessons learned from bilateral GPCCE projects at the global level.
Grupos destinarios The target audience is policymakers and technical experts globally and in particular in the focus emerging countries China, India and Mexico.
