Clean Energy Transitions in Emerging Economies
Guiding policy makers on how to push ahead in sector reforms, attract investments, foster innovation and ultimately enable a clean energy transition The Clean Energy Transitions in Emerging Economies programme works with specific emerging economies to implement actions to fulfil global clean energy and climate targets in line with the Paris agreement. Currently, the IEA is delivering the second edition of the programme (CETEE-2). It builds on the results and the success of activities implemented between 2020 and 2022, and it provides support and analysis in the following interrelated components: improved data and statistics, decarbonisation of the power sector…

People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions
Putting people, and inclusivity, at the centre of all clean energy transitions not only improves people’s lives, but is also key to successful implementation of energy and climate policies.The IEA’s people-centred clean energy transitions programme supports governments to ensure their clean energy transition strategies are truly fair and inclusive, with a focus on skills, decent jobs, worker protection, social and economic development, equality, social inclusion and fairness, while engaging people as active participants.The programme builds on the work of the Global Commission on People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions, an independent panel of 30 members convened by…

Critical Minerals Security Programme
Critical minerals have risen rapidly up the policy agenda as a cornerstone of energy and economic security. These minerals are not only crucial for energy technologies but also play a vital role in high-tech industries, aerospace, defence, AI data centres, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing, making them central not only to energy security but also to broader national and economic resilience. The IEA Critical Minerals Security Programme is the Agency’s flagship framework designed to help countries strengthen mineral security. Building on the IEA’s leading analytical capabilities in critical minerals markets and its long-standing experience in safeguarding energy…

Clean Energy Labour Council Structure
Fostering dialogue between the IEA, stakeholders and the labour sector A growing number of countries are setting increasingly ambitious goals to shift to clean energy, with significant implications for labour. IEA analysis estimates that the energy transition needed to reach net zero emissions will create 14 million new jobs in the realm of clean energy technologies, shift around 5 million workers away from fossil fuel sectors, and require additional skills and training for an estimated 30 milli...

Transport Project Partnership
The Transport Project Partnership was established to support dialogue among stakeholders on transport matters relevant for energy and climate, technology and modelling methodologies. The Partnership enables the exchange of ideas and information, allowing the IEA to strengthen its knowledge base for its analysis and research.
The origin of the IEA’s transport modelling and the Partnership that supports it can be traced back to the Sustainable Mobility Project (SMP) and the Mobility 2030 report of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). Established in 2000 to consider how global mobility patterns might evolve in the period to 2030 and… -
