9th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency

Conference — Nairobi, Kenya
Zac 0035

The IEA's 9th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency brought together global leaders in government, business and civil society – from across every continent – to accelerate policy action on energy efficiency.

It was held in Nairobi, Kenya - the first year in which the event was held on the African continent, reflecting the IEA’s strengthening partnership with Kenya, which recently joined the IEA family as an Association country.

The event provided a key moment to consolidate progress and drive momentum towards the global goal of doubling energy efficiency progress between now and 2030 – a key outcome of COP28. Energy efficiency is a vital tool for addressing climate change, as well as energy affordability, security and access, and the Global Conference looked to boost ambition on efficiency to improve the lives and livelihoods of citizens across the globe.

Across three days of workshops, roundtables and high-level panel discussions, attendees focused on action-oriented solutions to today’s global clean energy challenges that boost efficiency, access and affordability, and put people at the heart of the clean energy transition..
