The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation committed to advancing security of energy supply, economic growth and environmental sustainability through energy policy co-operation. The IEA operates as an autonomous body within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Both the OECD and the IEA seek opportunities to work with an increasing number of non-members of growing importance to the world economy.

As part of its modernisation agenda, the IEA is strengthening its role as a global clean energy hub and aims to be the world’s leading source of analytic work and policy advice on energy efficiency aimed at a global audience. Our team of policy analysts contribute to a growing programme of work covering all aspects of energy efficiency, from projecting the potential for energy efficiency across all sectors of economies, to evaluating the multiple benefits and impacts of policy measures. The analytical portfolio leads to extensive policy advice as well as capacity building activities in support of the social, economic and climate change objectives both emerging and advanced economies.
