AEE Signs Letter Supporting Global Energy Efficiency Goal

The Association of Energy Engineers has joined leading organizations in signing a letter to support the global goal of doubling the annual rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030. This effort, led by the Alliance to Save Energy y el Business Council for Sustainable Energy, will be shared with the COP 30 Presidency during Climate Week NYC this September. 

At AEE, we believe energy efficiency is the “first fuel” — reducing strain on the grid, lowering costs, creating jobs, and strengthening resilience while advancing decarbonization goals. By participating in this initiative, AEE reaffirms its commitment to the energy community and to supporting policies and investments that drive practical, scalable solutions worldwide. 

For more than 40 years, AEE has empowered energy professionals to lead the charge through the Certified Energy Manager (CEM®) — the gold standard certification in energy management. Globally recognized and trusted by top organizations, the CEM has helped countless professionals and companies save energy, reduce costs, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. With decades of proven results, CEM-certified leaders continue to advance cost-effective decarbonization and position their organizations for long-term competitiveness. 

AEE also keeps the global energy community connected and informed through its conferences and expos, y technical summits. Events like the AEE World Conference & Expo and regional gatherings provide unmatched opportunities to learn about evolving energy policies, explore innovative technologies, and connect with industry leaders shaping the future of energy. With local chapters active in over 130 countries, AEE is rooted in communities worldwide — ensuring members stay plugged into both global trends and local solutions. 

As countries prepare updated climate targets for 2035, we stand alongside our partners to emphasize the critical role of energy efficiency in ensuring a sustainable and prosperous energy future. Read the letter here.
