Which policy instruments are most effective to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in developing countries? How best to identify, design and implement energy efficiency programs for public buildings? How can cities use tools to assess energy savings opportunities? These are just a few of the questions addressed by new courses jointly developed by ESMAP and the World Bank Institute (WBI), targeted at policymakers and practitioners. The courses are now available through the World Bank’s e-Institute, a virtual learning classroom that provides convenient access to cutting-edge knowledge and communities of practice. The new offerings include e-courses on low carbon development planning for policymakers, energy efficiency in public buildings, and the use of energy savings performance contracts. More information.
