Executive Summary
Since the launch of the Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) in November 2017, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has significantly expanded its efforts to assist major emerging economies in accelerating energy transitions. The CETP has played a crucial role in building global momentum for clean energy transitions and strengthening the IEA family.
The CETP plans to continue its work in 2020 and beyond, focusing on building a secure and sustainable energy future. The program aims to leverage the IEA's expertise to address energy transition challenges, providing actionable solutions and avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches.
2020 marks the "Year of Clean Energy Transitions" at the IEA. Despite no single solution, the program has shown signs of progress, such as the flattening of global energy-related CO2 emissions. The CETP will play a critical role in ensuring that 2019 is remembered as a definitive peak in global emissions rather than a temporary pause.
The CETP fosters a community of trust and mutual benefit among IEA member countries and partner countries. It enhances global energy data availability, strengthens multilateral relationships, and promotes sharing of lessons on a global scale.
The CETP will host a Clean Energy Transitions Summit in Paris on July 9, 2020, bringing together key actors to address emission growth. The program aims to build an ambitious coalition to tackle climate change and ensure the benefits of clean energy transitions reach all IEA family members.
The CETP acknowledges the support and leadership of various countries and organizations, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, the European Commission, Denmark, the Netherlands, AFD, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Japan, Finland, New Zealand, and Australia. The program's success is attributed to the collaborative efforts of the IEA's coordination team and contributions from colleagues across the organization.
