Energy and AI
…centres. At the same time, AI could transform how the energy industry operates if it is adopted at scale. However, until now, policy makers and other stakeholders have often lacked the tools to analyse both sides of this issue due to a lack of comprehensive data. This report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) aims to fill this gap based on new global and regional modelling and datasets, as well as extensive consultation with governments and regulators, the tech sector, the energy industry and international experts. It includes projections for how much electricity AI could consume over the next decade…

Indicators Handbook for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions
Global Commission on People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions: Designing for Fairness The Indicators Handbook is based on the voluntary G20 Principles for Just and Inclusive Transitions, endorsed by G20 leaders in November 2024. The principles, which reflect varying perspectives, contexts and experiences, form a framework for approaching transitions that maximises benefits and mitigates the risk of unintended consequences. Designed as a technical resource, the Indicators Handbook provides guidance for governments and other stakeholders on identifying relevant indicators as a first step towards tracking policy design and implementation in line with the G20 Principles for Just and Inclusive Transitions. The Handbook…

National Climate Resilience Assessment for Algeria
…diverging precipitation trends between the northern coast and southern desert areas. The densely populated north is expected to experience steep declines in precipitation, increasing risks for droughts and wildfires. Droughts amplify water stress of critical energy infrastructure, and wildfires threaten electricity networks, power plants, and oil and gas operations. According to the Algerian General Directorate of Forests, about 3 000 fire outbreaks were recorded annually over the period 2010‑2019, burning nearly 310 km2 a year. At the same time, Algeria’s desert regions could see an increase in extreme precipitation events, flash floods and riverbed overflows in a high-emissions scenario which…
