The event is being held in partnership with the Energy Efficiency Movement. \n\n\n\nThe 10th edition of the IEA’s landmark event comes at a pivotal moment. Governments agreed at COP28 to double the rate of global energy efficiency improvements by 2030. Achieving this goal is critical if the international community is to bring about the secure\, affordable clean energy system that can meet our shared climate goals. But progress must accelerate rapidly if the goal is to be met. \n\n\n\nThe 10th Global Conference provides the key forum in 2025 for Ministers\, CEOs and senior leaders to come together to chart a path towards achieving the doubling goal. They will examine how best to maximise energy efficiency’s potential to boost affordability for consumers\, industrial competitiveness and energy security – in every region of the world. Over two days of high-level panels\, roundtable discussions\, workshops and meetings\, participants will develop solutions for enacting stronger policy action and unlocking investment in energy efficiency.  \n\n\n\nA ministerial roundtable chaired by the co-hosts will provide the setting for government decision makers to discuss how to move forward. A parallel CEO roundtable\, held in collaboration with the Energy Efficiency Movement\, will allow industry leaders to examine the challenges and opportunities they face in order to overcome barriers to further progress. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to this pivotal event. Participation is by invitation only.
