Description

The IEA's 9th Global Conference will once again bring together global leaders in government, business and civil society, from across every continent, to accelerate policy action on energy efficiency.

The 9th Global Conference is co-hosted by IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol and Kenya’s Minister of Energy and Petroleum Davis Chirchir, and will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 21 to 22 May 2024. This marks the first year in which the event is being held on the African continent, and reflects the IEA’s strengthening partnership with Kenya, which recently joined the IEA family as an Association country.

The event will be the key moment in 2024 to consolidate progress and drive momentum towards the global goal of doubling energy efficiency progress between now and 2030 – a key outcome of COP28. Energy efficiency is a vital tool for addressing climate change, as well as energy affordability, security and access, and the Global Conference will seek to boost ambition on efficiency to improve the lives and livelihoods of citizens across the globe.

Across two days of workshops, roundtables and high-level panel discussions, attendees will focus on action-oriented solutions to today’s global clean energy challenges that boost efficiency, access and affordability, and put people at the heart of the clean energy transition.
