High level symposium on fuel economy
Location and date(s) of workshop:	IEA, Paris: 15-16 May 2008
Organiser(s):	FIA Foundation / International Energy Agency / International Transport Forum / UN Environment Programme.
Background:	This invitation-only symposium aims to promote discussion of the scope of a global approach to automotive fuel economy issues and the building blocks for a coherent and cost effective international policy framework. It will bring together around 60 leading experts, policy makers and stakeholders. With the world motor vehicle fleet forecast to double over the next twenty years and growing international concern about the combined challenges of improving air quality, avoiding dangerous climate change, and reducing fossil fuel consumption, automotive fuel economy is now a major issue confronting the world community especially the G8 leading industrialized countries, the European Union, and the world’s rapidly motorizing nations such as China and India.
