 Pakistan’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)
Pakistan’s NDC is representative of its commitment
towards the global effort towards meeting UNFCCC
objectives. As Article 2 of the Convention stipulates
stabilizing the concentration of GHG emissions. This is an
opportunity and binding to set targets for energy sector till
2030.

Pakistan’s NDC is also strategically aligned with “Vision

2025”, and is based on sectoral growth in accordance with
various lines ministries and entities plans and policies.
 Pakistan’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)
As part of its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Pakistan has pledged to reduce
up to 20% of its 2030 projected GHG emissions.

Sector Wise Projection of Emissions (MT CO2-equivalent)

 Sustainable Energy For All (SE4ALL)

Sustainable Energy For All (SE4ALL) is the global

initiative of United Nations, which is underpinned by its
three main goals:
1. Universal access to energy
2. Doubling the rate of energy efficiency and
conservation
3. Doubling the share of renewable energy in the
overall energy mix.
 Sustainable Develop Goals (SDGs)
On September 25th 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end
poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a
new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to
be achieved over the next 15 years.

HOW TO CAPTURE EC POTENTIAL
❑ IDENTIFY
Energy Conservation Opportunities by Conducting Energy Audits and Surveys

❑ DEMONSTRATE
Energy Conservation through conducting Technical Services, Retrofits etc

❑ PUBLICIZE
Results through Trainings and Awareness Campaigns

UNEP Climate Technology Centre Network Support for
Developing National Certification Scheme For Energy
Auditors
 Definitions as per NEECA Act 2016
vii. “Certified Energy Auditor” means any person to be certified and
designated by the Authority for carrying out energy audit in accordance with
the provisions of the Act.

Mechanical Electrical
 Background
UNEP Climate Technology Center & Network (CTCN), which is the operational arm of the
UNFCCC Technology Mechanism based in Denmark, approved the Request for developing a
National Certification Scheme for Energy Auditors/Managers. CTCN will depute experts free
to cost for developing, institutionalizing and executing a National certification scheme for
energy auditors/managers. Once established, the scheme would facilitate the energy auditing
and related activities in a streamlined manner.

Project Components
Four project components and associated main activities are:
✓Identification of Designated Consumers
✓National Certification Scheme
✓Training of Relevant Professionals
✓Draft Regulations to Support Implementation of Roles as defined in
National Certification Scheme.
