I. Organizational Context
Energy-efficiency standard and labeling (ES&L) are among the most cost-effective types of policies and programs to mitigate global climate change. The reason for this is that these programs have the potential to effect complete market transformation for different classes of energy-saving products, at a cost far below the cost of providing new energy supply.
ES&L programs contribute to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), particularly MDGs 1,7 and 8, whereby the program can contribute to the eradication of extreme poverty, improve environmental sustainability of a country’s and/or a region’s development path, and help improve trade ties and develop global partnership for development.
The project is entitled Barrier Removal to the Cost-Effective Development and Implementation of Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling (BRESL) which applied the funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and will be implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). BRESL will be implemented on a regional basis in order to transform the regional product markets of the targeted appliances, equipment and lighting products, and address the common barriers to, and concerns about, ES&L by the participating countries. The participating counties in this project are: Governments of Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam.
BRESL is aimed at rapidly accelerating the adoption and implementation of energy standards and labels (ES&L) in Asia, and in so doing bring about energy savings from the use of energy efficient appliances/equipment. The project also facilitates harmonization of test procedures, standards and labels among developing countries in Asia, when appropriate. The project is expected to cost-effectively deliver an average 10% reduction in total residential and commercial energy use in partner countries at the time of peak impact by the year 2030 compared to a baseline scenario, thereby contributing to more environmentally sustainable and economically efficient development. BRESL will facilitate the transformation of the manufacture and sale of energy-efficient appliances and equipment through: 1) A regional initiative in Asia, with provision for general information, tools and training to all interested developing countries in the region plus customized efforts, all with a focus on regional cooperation; and, 2) National technical assistance to 5 developing countries in Asia. The project will focus largely on capacity building and assisting government, manufacturing, distributing, retail, consumer and environmental stakeholders throughout the Asian region to implement the most cost-effective energy efficiency measure available. In each participating country, priority activities will be carried out to help foster each country’s preferred process for developing or expanding its ES&L program. |
