Financing Energy Efficiency: Lessons from Brazil, China, India, and Beyond, is a new book recently released by the World Bank. The book focuses on China, India, and Brazil as three of the globe's top 10 energy consumers. The three countries hold 40 percent of the world's population and account for well over half of all energy demand by developing countries. By 2030, they'll be responsible for 42 percent of growth in energy demand worldwide. The book draws extensively on the results of a multiyear, global technical assistance effort known as the Three Country Energy Efficiency Project, a joint initiative of the World Bank, the UN Environment Programme's Denmark-based Risoe Centre (URC), and partners in Brazil, China, and India.
