Evidence, context, and the implication worth carrying forward.

The meeting focused on assessing the latest developments in energy markets, policies, and transitions, and setting the agency’s strategic direction for the coming years. It also served as an occasion to reflect on the IEA’s evolution from its initial focus on oil supply security to its current role at the heart of global dialogues on energy security and clean energy transitions​​.

The 2024 IEA Ministerial Meeting was co-chaired by Irish Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications Eamon Ryan and French Minister for Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher. The meeting aimed to advance international cooperation on energy security and tackling climate change.
