The presentation in the capital of Greece, on November 23- just three days after the initial launch event, in Brussels, Belgium - will take place during IENE’s annual "Energy and Development 2017” Conference, to be held on November 23-24, 2017.
The IEA flagship publication World Energy Outlook (WEO), widely regarded as the gold standard of energy analysis, provides, strategic insight on what today’s policy and investment decisions mean for long-term trends. Based on rigorous modeling across different scenarios, the WEO projections are used by public and private sector stakeholders as a framework for policy-making, planning and investment decisions, and to identify pathways to a sustainable energy future.
WEO 2017 reflects the fluctuating status of the global energy scene in our time, where large-scale shifts in the global energy system are the key feature. These shifts include the rapid deployment and deep declines in the costs of major renewable energy technologies; a growing shift towards electricity in energy use across the globe; profound changes in China’s economy and energy policy, moving consumption away from coal; and the continued surge in shale gas and tight oil production in the United States.
These changes provide the backdrop for the WEO 2017, which includes a full update of energy demand and supply projections to 2040 based on different scenarios. The projections are accompanied by detailed analyses of their impact on energy industries and investment, as well as implications for energy security and the environment.
Other cities where the WEO 2017 is going to be presented are: Brussels, Belgium, Rotterdam & The Hague, The Netherlands (November 23), Ottawa, Canada (November 24), Copenhagen, Denmark (November 27), Oslo, Norway (November 28), Stockholm, Sweden, Frankfurt, Germany, Paris, France(November 29), Istanbul, Turkey (November 29), Rome, Italy (December 1), Beijing, China , (December 7) and Tokyo, Japan (December 14).
