Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps,
combined with smart controls, can cut CO2
emissions from lighting 50-70%
– The LightSavers programme is piloting
LED street lighting products with a group
of world cities
– 10 cities including Toronto, New York,
Calcutta, London, Tianjin, Guiyang
– Unique global product trial, moving to
financing and policy support for scale up
– 1,000 Village Campaign (China) –
bringing LED/solar lighting to rural areas
around major Chinese cities through
donated product from LED companies
– Launched by Tony Blair and Jet Li in
Guiyang, 2009
MARKET TRANSFORMATION: LED LIGHTING

14. Business coalition example
Call for 30% reduction target in the EU
Strong endorsement given to the 30% target
by Denmark, France, Germany and the UK
a win-win-win for Europe.
numerous economic and social benefits
will spur innovation and investment
thus creating millions of new jobs in a low carbon economy
maintain its leadership and competitiveness in the global low carbon
economy estimated to be worth over €3.4 trillion and growing rapidly.
ensure energy security through greater low carbon energy investments

15. Business call for 30% reduction target in the EU
avoid high carbon ‘lock-in’ and the financial risk of needing to engineer a
rapid shift away from stranded assets
recession has made emissions cuts easier and cheaper but market
incentives are required to spur action
‘Carbon leakage’ should be evaluated and concerns addressed based on
real facts and data about competitiveness.
