International Energy Agency's 8th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency

Watch IEA 8th Annual global conference on energy efficiency on We Don't Have Time

IEA

The International Energy Agency's 8th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency will bring together ministers, CEOs and other senior leaders to help achieve the faster progress on energy efficiency that is needed to address today’s global energy crisis and pressing climate imperatives. The 8th Global Conference is hosted by French Minister of Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher and IEA Executive Director, Dr Fatih Birol, in partnership with Schneider Electric.

Join us live on We Don't Have Time as we explore how policy action in areas such as innovation, digitalisation and finance can help governments as they turn to energy efficiency to boost affordability, security and climate action. Across two days of high-level discussions, the global conference will provide an action-oriented forum for decision makers to share experiences of implementing energy efficiency policy on the ground and driving investment in real-world projects. Public sessions will be broadcast by We Don’t Have Time, but you can find further information on sessions across the schedule on the IEA event page.
