The EuropeanCommission alsoparticipates in thework of the IEA Source: IEA.International Energy AgencyWebsite: www.iea.org Abstract The Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) is the IEA’s flagship initiative foraccelerating progress toward a global net zero energy system. Launched at the2017 IEA Ministerial to leverage the Agency’s expertise, insights and influence, theprogramme has provided world-class analysis, technical assistance and capacitybuilding to support the most ambitious reorientation of the world’s energy systemsthis century. The CETP’s work is structured across three pillars of activity, with aparticular focus on emerging markets and developing economies. The first of thesefocuses on supporting emerging and developing countries to establish clean energytransition goals, in line with the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement and theSustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. The secondpillar centres on facilitating coordination among multilateral organisations such asthe Group of 20 (G20) and UN-affiliated collaborations. The final pillar showcasesthe IEA’s work at a global level to enable and accelerate clean energy transitions. TheCETP Annual Report 2023 provides an overview of the programme’sachievements over the past year. The remarkable impact of the CETP’s work duringthisperiod was reflected in several notable achievements,including theannouncement of a new set of fuel standards for trucks in Indonesia, the EnergyTransition Plan in Uganda and the establishment of regulations for the spotelectricity market in China. These and other policies announced in 2023 were allclosely aligned with IEA recommendations and reinforced the Agency’s status as atrustedadvisor to emerging and developing countries.The programme’saccomplishments also included the publication of the IEA’s firstLatin AmericaEnergy Outlookand a World Energy Outlook Special Report on universal access toclean cooking in Africa. Additional highlights included annual updates of ourWorldEnergy InvestmentandWorld Energy Employmentreports along with many others. The programme also provided support to the IEA’s strategically important work onenergy efficiency, critical minerals, energy employment, clean energy investmentand people-centred energy transitions. The CETP supported the IEA’s efforts toimprove energy data collection and to develop capacity among policy makers inpartner countries. It contributed to the Agency’s role as a key coordinator of theglobal energy dialogue, as reflected in the many outcomes and mandates thatemerged from G20, G7 and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)Ministerial meetings throughout the year. The programme also helped facilitate theIEA’s engagement with the Presidency of the 28thannual UN climate meeting(COP28) in Dubai and supported the Agency’s ambitious action plan that informedthe main outcome of that summit: the first ever global agreement to 1.5 °C-alignedenergy transitions in the Global Stocktake outcome.
