Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2024
…the Conference of the Parties (COP) and the Group of 20 (G20), ensuring that clean energy goals are integrated into international dialogues. The impact of the CETP extends to critical areas like energy efficiency, critical minerals, climate resilience, mobilising investment and reducing methane emissions, which are central to the global energy transition.Through innovation and multilateral collaboration, the CETP exemplifies the IEA's strategy of promoting clean energy transitions that are not only secure and sustainable but also inclusive and affordable. It remains a cornerstone of global efforts to accelerate the clean energy transition, driving tangible, transformative change across the world.

Portugal 2026 Policy recommendations for Portugal
…clear objectives, the pathways for achieving them are dispersed across numerous strategies, regulatory reforms and funding programmes. This fragmentation makes it difficult to align investment planning, infrastructure needs, workforce development and consumer incentives. A national roadmap would integrate these efforts, increase transparency, and provide clarity and direction for authorities, industry and consumers.The roadmap should be built on bottom-up sectoral agreements, developed in close collaboration with industry, municipalities, and labour and consumer groups, to ensure that each sector’s pathway reflects practical implementation barriers, technology readiness and cost-effectiveness. This approach would also help sequence actions in electricity, buildings…

IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs)
The IEA TCPs support the work of independent, international groups of experts and industries to lead programmes and projects on a variety of energy technologies and related issues. A number of IEA TCPs foster cooperation on social dimensions of clean energy, including the Users TCP, providing insights on the design, social acceptance and usability of clean energy technologies, and the Wind TCP, examining social acceptance of renewables infrastructure. The Users TCP focusses on the vital role of people in energy technology systems and sees user-centred energy systems as critical for delivering socially and politically acceptable energy transitions. For example…
