Energy efficiency is an essential pillar of any emissions reductions target. Today we are talking with Martin Schoenberg, an energy efficiency project coordinator at the United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative. We discuss what the UN is doing to help energy efficiency, what the largest opportunities are, and how energy efficiency is necessary to sustain both high standards of living and meet climate goals.

Homayoun Falakshahi is a senior analyst at WoodMackenzie who focusses on oil and gas upstream in The Middle East and North Africa. We discuss sanctions on Iran and Venezuela and the effect on oil markets.
