Outcome Statement of the IEA’s 11th Annual Conference on Energy Efficiency
…countries coordinated the largest ever release of emergency oil stocks and many countries are implementing demand-side policies. We welcome the IEA's early call for policy action through a menu of demand-side measures that governments, businesses and households could take immediately to make smart energy savings decisions, and we welcome the Energy Crisis Policy Response Tracker that is actively monitoring governments' emergency policy announcements.While the immediate focus is on managing today's disruptions, the Paris Agreement goals and the global path to net-zero emissions remain the overarching frame. Meeting the COP28 commitment to double global energy...

Joint Statement in Support of the IEA-Ukraine Collaboration Programme
…energy savings and a transition to a more secure, sustainable, resilient and affordable energy system that is integrated with Europe. We commend the IEA’s intensification of activities under that Programme, as IEA Ministers requested at the 2024 Ministerial Meeting.We applaud and support the IEA’s contributions to further enhancing cooperation with Ukraine through the IEA-Ukraine Collaboration Programme, and request that the IEA Secretariat continue to work through the Programme to support Ukraine’s reconstruction needs. We express our appreciation to the IEA Secretariat for continuing to provide analysis of Ukraine’s current energy situation to inform international…

Latvia
Latvia is undertaking its energy transition with some promising results to date, with the goal to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions (without land use, land-use change and forestry) by 65% from 1990 levels by 2030 and to achieve net zero by 2050. It has made inroads on the share of renewable energy in its fuel mix, with sizeable shares of bioenergy and hydropower.
Renewable energy sources dominate its electricity mix, in particular, accounting for around three-quarters of domestic generation. Other sectors, notably transport and buildings, continue to consume large amounts of energy and rely on dated infrastructure that…- Overview

Estonia
…mainly to lowering its reliance on electricity generation from domestic oil shale, an energy rich sedimentary rock. However, oil shale remains the main energy source and imported fossil fuels still plan a major role, especially in transport. Estonia’s forests, which historically offset significant greenhouse gas emissions, have become a net emissions source. Estonia is aiming to accelerate its clean energy transition with a target to cover 100% of annual electricity demand with renewables by 2030 as part of a larger package to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. It is seeing success with one of the highest uptakes of heat…

Buildings
…best-in-class products
Financing and market mechanisms are needed to accelerate the clean energy transition. Governments can enact policy interventions to improve access to financing and de-risk clean energy investment to enhance the attractiveness of buildings sector investment. They can also broaden the availability of market-based instruments that reduce barriers to the transition, for example via means-tested subsidies for household to retrofits or weatherisation, or installation of lower-carbon and more efficient appliances and equipment. Public competitions to stimulate innovation, such as the Buildings Upgrade Prize developed by the US Department of Energy Building Technologies Office…
