International Energy Agency

Environment

IEA Ministers recognise that current energy trends are not sustainable and that a better balance must be found between the three Es – energy security, economic development and protection of the environment. Energy is part of many environmental problems, including climate change, and must be part of the solution. The IEA has been engaged for more than a decade on designing cost-effective approaches to reduce CO₂ emissions, from the international policy architecture (including trading mechanisms) to energy efficiency policy and the promotion of clean technologies.
