2. Global Energy Trend
 APEC represents around 60% of the world’s primary energy demand In developing economies such as China and Southeast Asia, energy
demand has more than doubled since 1990

3. APEC Energy Ministerial Meeting (EMM) The 1st APEC Energy Ministerial Meeting (EMM) was held in Sydney in1996 to discuss how energy security, economic growth and environment
conservation should be achieved simultaneously The EMM is held every couple of years

12th EMM• Cebu, the Philippines• October 13, 2015

• Key message about energy efficiency
 The future economic growth of the APEC
region will be supported by anappropriate mix of energy resources andpower generation technologies thatincludes both conventional andrenewable energy with increasing priority
for clean energy sources and enhancedenergy efficiency
 Ministers encouraged Members topromote energy supply diversity andenergy efficiency

4. APEC Energy Working Group (EWG)
 Energy Working Group (EWG) was launched in 1990
 Chaired by Dr. Phyllis Yoshida, the United States
 EWG’s mission under Strategic Plan for 2014-2018① Strengthening regional and domestic energy security and resilience acrossthe region② Lowering the carbon intensity of energy supply and use③ Promoting the diversification of fuels and sources④ Training a gender-inclusive energy workforce

5. Promote Energy Efficiency
 APEC’s energy efficiency goal:
Reduce APEC’s aggregate energy intensity by 45% from 2005 levels
by 2035, as set out in the 2011 APEC Economic Leaders’ Declaration
 Japan launched APEC Peer Review on Energy Efficiency (PREE):
Voluntary peer review mechanism, to assist APEC economies indeveloping or implementing policies on energy efficiency
Change in APEC’s Energy Intensity

PREE’s Key Objectives• Share information on energy efficiency
performances and policies• Provide opportunities for learningfrom other APEC member economies’experiences• Explore how energy efficiency goals
could be effectively formulated• Provide recommendations(Source: APEC Energy Demand and Supply Outlook 5th Edition (2013))

6. APEC Energy Efficiency Sub-Fund APEC Support Fund (Sub-Fund for Energy Efficiency and Low-CarbonMeasure) to contribute to the promotion of energy efficiency activities
and low-carbon measures
 Japan has provided cumulative contribution of USD 16.7 million to thefund since 2009

107. Conclusions
 APEC region is at the center of global energy demand Through the EMM and the EWG, APEC economies havediscussed energy security issues including energy efficiency
since 1996
 It is vital to enlighten the younger generation about theimportance of energy through elementary and secondary
education
 Japan will keep contributions of energy efficiency activities in
the APEC region
