Energy efficiency is a continuous key focus area for the IEA, and over the past years this conference has become part of a range of activities on energy efficiency, promoted by the IEA, including in-depth analysis, best practice sharing with governments across the globe and capacity building with policy makers in emerging economies. The Conference drew an audience of 400 participants from more than 50 countries and brought together dignitaries and senior leaders to advance global progress on energy efficiency.
This year’s conference focused on the impact of digitalisation on energy efficiency, and lessons learned, the role of financing, business and policy innovations and the multiple benefits of energy efficiency. The IEA is currently working on its Energy Efficiency 2019 annual report which is expected to be published later this year.
