The Asia LEDS Partnership (ALP) is happy to announce the launch of the Community of Practice (CoP) on Building Energy Efficiency (BEE). It is an initiative of the Asia LEDS Partnership in collaboration with the Building Efficiency Accelerator (BEA) initiative supported by the World Resources Institute (WRI). The interactive platform will allow for deeper learning and sustained participation, continuous access to tools and expert assistance, and to foster champions that will serve as role models for other countries in the region.
The BEE CoP of the ALP will cover learning and technical collaboration focusing on policies and measures, financing mechanisms, and technologies pertaining to Building Energy Efficiency. The activities of the BEE CoP are envisaged to be demand-driven and informed by the participants on the technical needs of the members. The CoP will seek to further engage by offering support and solutions to active participants and early movers in the field of building energy efficiency and related topics as needs emerge. Members would have opportunities to avail of specific technical and advisory support through the BEA and ALP’s network.
In 2019-20, the BEE CoP’s work focused on peer learning, knowledge exchange, and offering no-cost technical assistance to the CoP participants. Participating cities also had the opportunity to join the BEA initiative and contribute to the BEA’s efforts to double the rate of energy efficiency improvements in the building sector by 2030. Cities signing up to the BEA can access tools, resources, and support from the BEA partnership to help guide the adoption of building efficiency policies, implementation of pilot programs

In 2018, the LEDS GP is ramping up its support for regionally-based learning groups or ‘Communities of Practice’ that explore specific economic sectors and financing mechanisms. This page gives background information and explains how you can join the Communities of Practice.
The Rural LEDS Community of Practice as a vehicle to facilitate peer to peer exchanges among LAC governments, private sector, international programs and other relevant stakeholders who are working on policies, measures and planning approaches that greatly impact rural development. The objective of the Rural LEDS Community is to accelerate rural development in the LAC region through an integrated planning…
The AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use) Community of Practice in Africa focuses on facilitating peer to peer exchange, providing training and technical assistance and sharing best practices on: agroforestry action as a driver of socioeconomic development and emission reduction linking agricultural production with small-scale energy sources to enable socio-economic development and emission reductions analytical approaches to assess greenhouse…
The Low Emission Development Strategies Global Partnership (LEDS GP) has launched its country leadership resource, which allows users to discover how countries are integrating low emission action in their national development. Experts from LEDS GP’s working groups, regional platforms and secretariat have collected these examples of country leadership – and have provided links to where users can find out more…
