The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by improving the energy efficiency of Russian educational facilities. The problem addressed by the project is the low attention to energy efficiency measures and inadequate project development capacity resulting in inefficient use of energy and subsequent environmental, economic, and social problems. It will be achieved through awareness raising, training and capacity building, demonstration program and development of schemes and tools including models for sustainable administrative and financial solutions.
