Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic:

The Energy Efficient Cities Initiative, jointly developed by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) and the Urban Anchor of the World Bank, and launched at a Roundtable discussion with stakeholders earlier this month at the World Banks Headquarters, aims to promote energy efficiency in cities and reduce the harmful effects that cities can have on our environment. Energy efficiency can help cities reduce their energy bills and thus free up resources for other developmental priorities. In addition, such programs can ease strains on existing infrastructure, reduce the costs to customers for municipal services, improve a citys competitiveness and help reduce the environmental footprint of the city.
