Designing for fairness
…Clean Energy Transitions hosted by the IEA at its headquarters in April 2024. The IEA acts as the Commission’s main coordinator and administrative body. It also undertakes specific analysis or research as requested by the Commission’s members. Outputs The Commission’s first output, Key policy design considerations for affordable and fair transitions, was launched at the first meeting of the Global Commission, taking place directly before the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial programme in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. This helped elevate key issues explored by the Commission, which was followed by the approval of the Principles for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions by…

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… -
