The Harvard Project on Climate Agreements—closely affiliated with HEEP— co-hosted an official side-event on energy efficiency at the Twentieth Conference of the Parties (COP-20) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which was held in Lima, Peru, in December 2014. The panel was titled “Implications of the Energy-efficiency Gap for Reducing Greenhouse-gas Emissions” and was co-hosted with the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) and the Enel Foundation. The event was based in part on a Harvard-Project discussion paper with the same title.
