The Council of Capital City Lord Mayors represents the interests of the Lord Mayors (and ACT Chief Minister) of Australia’s eight capital cities. As large users of energy, cities produce a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions and consume an estimated 75% of the world’s energy (C40 Cities 2009).

Australia’s capital cities acknowledge this impact and are responding to the need to unlock energy efficiency in buildings by accelerating the upgrade of existing residential and commercial buildings in order to meet minimum national targets.
