What’s Inside This Annex

Transportation

Transportation policies directly impact energy consumption through fuel efficiency standards, vehicle emissions regulations, and incentives for alternative fuel vehicles such as electric cars and public transportation.

Industry

Industrial activities consume large amounts of energy for manufacturing processes, heating, and cooling. National energy policies may include measures to encourage energy efficiency improvements, adoption of cleaner technologies, and industrial sector decarbonization.

Buildings & Construction

Buildings account for a significant portion of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. National energy policies often include building codes, energy efficiency standards, and financial incentives to promote energy-efficient building design, retrofits, and renewable energy integration.

Agriculture, Forestry, & Water Management

Agriculture and forestry activities have implications for energy production, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions. Water resources management is closely linked to energy production and consumption, particularly in hydropower generation, water pumping, and wastewater treatment.

Technology, Innovation, & Economic Policies

Technology and innovation policies play a crucial role in driving advancements in energy technologies. Economic and trade policies can influence energy markets, investment decisions, and international cooperation on energy issues.
