Transitions in energy efficiency and demand : the emergence, diffusion and impact of low-carbon innovation /

Meeting the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement and limiting global temperature increases to less than two degrees above pre-industrial levels demands rapid reductions in global carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing energy demand has a central role in achieving this goal, but existing policy initiat...
