Gender Equality Index 2024

Education and training are essential for gender equality and for everyone’s ability to adapt to labour market changes fuelled by the green and digital transitions. Tertiary education is vital for good quality job opportunities, while lifelong learning enhances social mobility and helps women and men in all their diversity to adapt to workplace transformation. The domain of knowledge is marked by
women slightly surpassing men in both educational attainment and participation in adult learning.

Persistent gender segregation in education – with women significantly outnumbering men in studying education, health and welfare, and humanities and the arts – remains a major challenge.

EU policy developments in the domain of knowledge focus on bringing more women into STEM study fields and on upskilling and reskilling to enable citizens and the economy to adapt to the twin transitions.  The digital education action plan is a key enabler of the European education area and aims to make better use of digital technology for teaching and learning and to develop relevant digital skills and competencies for digital transformation.

Energy Efficiency Today, Competitiveness Tomorrow: 2024 in Review

2024 was a year of action for EU-ASE, strengthening the role of energy efficiency as a key driver of competitiveness, energy security and decarbonisation in Europe.

Through high-level advocacy, strategic publications, impactful events and digital outreach, we worked to ensure that energy efficiency remains at the heart of EU policymaking. From shaping the Clean Industrial Deal and influencing climate targets to hosting the third edition of European Energy Efficiency Day, our efforts have helped reinforce energy system efficiency as a key priority for Europe’s future.

The 2024 Activity Report showcases our engagement with EU institutions to shape energy efficiency policies, the publications and position papers that contributed to the energy efficiency agenda and the events and speaking engagements that amplified industry and policymaker dialogue.

As we move into 2025, we remain committed to advancing a sustainable, competitive and energy-efficient Europe.

Enhancing EU security & resilience via energy efficiency: 2023 in review

The EU-ASE 2023 Activity Report delves into the advocacy and outreach efforts of the European Alliance to Save Energy, aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in the EU’s energy policies and integrating the water-energy nexus into mainstream considerations.

2023 can be viewed as a continuation of the previous one, marked by escalating geopolitical issues and an energy crisis. Throughout the year, EU-ASE actively implemented its workplan by significantly contributing to energy efficiency debates and participating in ongoing negotiations on legislative dossiers.

We also organized the second edition of the European Energy Efficiency Day, bringing together high-profile speakers who contributed to discussions on energy efficiency in buildings, industrial ecosystems, and the electricity market. The event also delved into the skills agenda within the sector.

We continued our work on the implementation of a work programme which was structured around the main objectives of:

  • Boosting energy efficiency through EU policy and regulatory framework
  • Unleashing the energy savings potential of water efficiency in EU legislation
  • Smart, digital, and effective communication to achieve advocacy objectives

Telling the energy efficiency story – 2022 in review

The energy crisis and price hikes exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine put a lot of pressure on governments, citizens and businesses, who were still recovering from the pandemic shock. 

In this context, in 2022, the Alliance threw its weight behind demonstrating to EU decision makers that existing energy efficiency solutions are key to address the energy crisis and reach climate neutrality globally.

We continued our work on the implementation of a work programme which involved all our members and was structured around four main objectives:

• Energy efficiency boosted by policy and regulatory framework
• Unleashing the energy savings potential of water efficiency in EU legislation
• Financing energy efficiency
• Smart, digital and effective communication to achieve advocacy objective

10 years and going strong – 2021 in review

2021 has been another intense year for energy efficiency and Green Deal related issues. It was also a special one for the European Alliance to Save Energy (EU-ASE) as we celebrated our 10th anniversary.

Throughout the year, the Alliance worked hard to implement an ambitious workplan which involved all members and was structured around four objectives:
• Energy efficiency boosted by policy and regulatory framework
• Unleashing the energy savings potential of water efficiency in EU legislation
• Financing energy efficiency
• Smart, digital and effective communication to achieve advocacy objectives

In a context still marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, EU-ASE was able to effectively support the promotion of energy efficiency to achieve sustainable recovery and meet the EU’s energy and climate goals.
