Abstract
Based on an analysis of a number of key indicators, the article concluded that the overall level of energy efficiency in the Arab countries remains low, largely due to high government subsidies for fuel and electricity. At the same time, its increase is one of the effective mechanisms to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and as a result, to achieve the goals set on the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference. In recent years, a number of states in the region have seen positive developments. The article examines the implementation of basic institutional, financial, technical tools for the state support. Based on the analysis the regional leaders were identified, where the increase in energy savings and energy efficiency is likely to be predicted in the nearest future.
