Kateri Callahan joined Israeli mayors and senior representatives from local Tel Aviv authorities and agencies to discuss the challenges and potential for Israeli cities in deploying energy efficiency at scale. Showcasing success stories and case studies from the U.S. and around the world, Callahan demonstrated the economic, environmental, and security benefits of advancing programs, technologies, funding and infrastructure that promote efficient energy use.

30 minutes (this includes presentation + discussion) Audience will not be too familiar with topic, so Yael asks that you make sure to cover energy efficiency in depth and talk about the opportunities/challenges for cities/municipalities
Annual world-wide investment of $170 billion in energy efficiency through 2020 could: cut global growth in energy demand by ½! save $900 billion a year in avoided energy costs dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions Source: The McKinsey Global Institute “ Energy efficiency is the nation’s greatest energy resource—we saved 50 quads in 2007 due to energy efficiency and conservation efforts taken since 1973. This is more energy than we get from any single energy source, including oil.” “ If we tried to run today’s economy without the energy-efficiency improvements that have taken place since 1973, we would need nearly 50% more energy than we use now. This is more than what we get from any single energy source, including oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power.”

The good news is that there is a very large opportunity to contain energy demand growth in an economically attractive way. By capturing the potential available from existing technologies with an internal rate of return of 10 percent or more, we could cut global energy demand growth by half or more over the next 15 years. In other words, global energy demand in 2020 would decline by an amount equal to almost 150 percent of the entire US energy consumption today.

A note about urban infrastructure: the problem doesn't just lie in the energy that gets consumed within city limits. More often than not the bigger environmental issue lies in how resources are transported to the city in the first place (widens the problem beyond city borders)
ICLEI – international association of local governments as well as national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development; over 1107 cities, towns, counties, and their associations worldwid European Union Covenant of Mayors: Covenant of Mayors is a commitment by signatory towns and cities to go beyond the objectives of EU energy policy in terms of reduction in CO 2 emissions through enhanced energy efficiency and cleaner energy production and use. Clinton Climate C40 Cities Project: a group of the world's largest cities committed to tackling climate change; includes: Istanbul, Cairo; Karachi, Pakistan; Delhi, India (I’m naming cities in the region of Israel – might be a touchy subject because a majority of these cities/countries have not-so-great relations with the Israeli government; but then again, it could inspire the mayors in the audience to focus more on energy/efficiency issues) Other cities: Shangai, Tokyo, Chicago, New York, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Sydney, Mexico City Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network: increase attention, funding, and action on building climate change resilience for poor and vulnerable people by creating robust models and methodologies for assessing and addressing risk through active engagement and analysis of various cities.

Energy conservation was a common feature of life in Soviet Union after the fall of the Berlin Wall, post-Soviet societies became more inefficient
Taken from an International Energy Agency report on “Cities and Energy”, 2008 Of note: energy efficiency is among the most common features in city energy savings programs drastic savings
