A pleasure to host Mayor of Istanbul Ekrem İmamoğlu at the International Energy Agency HQ in Paris.

We discussed the importance of smart urban energy policies to make cities clean and liveable for their citizens.

Excellent discussions at the European Mayors Summit on cities’ leading role in energy transitions

Thank you to Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo for organising the event with leaders including the Mayors of Kiev @vitaliy_klychko, Copenhagen Sophie Hæstorp & Sarajevo Benjamina Karić

Batteries are a vital part of the energy transition 🔋

✅ They’re the fastest growing clean technology on the market
✅ They help meet climate goals & ensure energy security
✅ They bring down emissions in power & transport

🗣 “We need to think much more boldly in the years ahead to mobilise finance, particularly for emerging markets & developing economies, where the most investment is needed”

More from Nick Robins on what's needed to finance inclusive energy transitions 👉 iea.li/44yaD36

India is world’s 2nd largest steel producer. Without mitigation policies, emissions from its steel sector could rise rapidly, posing climate & air quality challenges

Our new report explores what's needed to move the sector onto a path to net zero 👉 iea.li/3WrbCzP

🗣 “Moving households onto newer forms of household heating — for cooking in particular — accomplishes a number of things'

In this Everything Energy Talk, James Irungu Mwangi highlights the benefits of clean cooking solutions 👉 iea.li/3Wn6n4b

Attracting workers from outside the energy sector will be key to meet rising job demand.

With some retraining, current workers could benefit from higher wages in the energy sector - especially for blue collar workers like technicians or electricians 👉 iea.li/49MqqMq

This Tuesday, from 06.30 a.m. episode #1, with dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (International Energy Agency).

Governments can help cities deliver innovative & inclusive solutions to drive clean energy transitions

Our new report – prepared for the #G7 – explores how urban planning, digitalisation & other initiatives can improve power systems in cities worldwide 👇 iea.li/3QsvUoZ

🗣 “You will not have a successful clean energy transition if it's not, at the same time, a social transition that works well for everybody involved'

ITUC's Luc Triangle discussing the need for energy transitions to benefit all people, particularly vulnerable communities ⬇️

Pleasure to speak with Canada’s Senators for Climate Solutions about the powerful economic, industrial, & energy security forces driving clean energy transitions forward – & how this momentum is being reflected in 🇨🇦's energy agenda

Thank you SenCoyle for the invitation

Ensuring the availability of public charging keeps pace with EV sales is vital to unlock further growth

Last year, public charging point installations were up 40% from 2022

To align with government pledges, charging networks must grow six-fold by 2035 👉 iea.li/3JB9TAy

Since 2010, battery costs have fallen by more than 90% — offering opportunities to cut emissions in road transport & electricity

In 2023, electric car sales rose to almost 14 million. And battery storage deployment in the power sector more than doubled 👉 iea.li/4dlECPQ

Under today’s policy settings, the uptake of EVs – including cars, vans, trucks, buses & 2/3-wheelers – is set to avoid the need for over 10 million barrels of oil a day in 2035

That's equal to all the oil demand from road transport in the US today 👉 iea.li/4beWVnU

We recently launched a new online resource tracking global progress towards key energy goals adopted at COP28!

Developed with UN Climate Change, it can support policy makers as they work to turn climate promises into action.

Warm & productive meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida 岸田文雄 of Japan on the significant role the Asia-Pacific can play in global efforts to reach net zero

We also discussed how decarbonisation strategies can underpin economic growth & strengthen energy security

This week in Turin, #G7 Ministers pledged to strengthen energy security & speed up clean energy transitions

In the communiqué, leaders drew on a wide range of our work in key areas like COP28 tracking, batteries, clean cooking, energy efficiency, critical minerals & much more ⬇️

🗣 ”As organised labour continues to advocate for an inclusive & just transition, it's important that we ensure no worker is left behind”

At our Global Summit, @COSATU Today's Zingiswa Losi highlighted key labour implications at the heart of people-centred energy transitions

Echanges riches avec Fatih Birol ce matin sur la transition énergétique en France et en Europe, sur le financement et la place du nucléaire comme levier de décarbonation, et bien sûr la sortie des énergies fossiles.

La France soutient et est pleinement engagée à l'International Energy Agency.

Very pleased to meet with French Minister Roland Lescure to discuss 🇫🇷 & 🇪🇺 energy priorities, how clean tech manufacturing can boost industrial competitiveness & nuclear power in secure energy transitions

Looking forward to continued close cooperation ahead in these key areas
