The Coalition for Energy Savings, the European Renewable Energy Council and Climate Action Network Europe joined together for a call on Environment and Energy Ministers in support of mutually reinforcing and binding energy savings, renewable energy and greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2030. It is the first time the three organisations, representing the key stakeholders for the three respective targets, joined forces.

A unique diversity of organisations
The Coalition for Energy Savings brings together business, professional, local authorities and civil society organisations. The Coalition’s purpose is to make the case for a European energy policy that places a much greater, more meaningful emphasis on energy efficiency and savings. In particular it is arguing for the current 20% energy saving target to be binding.
Combining expertise for common action
The Coalition for Energy Savings has been created to make energy efficiency and savings the first consideration of energy policies in Europe, as driving force behind a more prosperous, sustainable and competitive Europe. We bring together stakeholders with an interest in energy efficiency, including from business, civil society, professional associations and local authorities.
The path to a sustainable recovery
Increasing energy efficiency means delivering more and stable local jobs, a healthier environment and increased energy and financial security while spending less on energy bills and imports. Current efforts would only achieve half of Europe‟s energy saving target and undermine the credibility of its climate and energy ambitions.
