Why the IEA’s 7th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency is more relevant than ever

The conference is hosted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities, with private sector support from global engineering firm Danfoss.

The focus of the conference will be to discuss how international ambition on energy efficiency can be translated into faster and stronger real-world progress. This comes at a particularly critical time, as governments ramp up ambitious plans to tackle the climate crisis and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while concurrently strengthening energy security.

The conference will bring together leaders from business and politics, including more than 20 confirmed ministers, the highest ministerial presence ever for this conference, to focus on how international ambition and collaboration on energy efficiency can provide much-needed progress towards carbon neutral and low carbon economies. The event, which runs from Tuesday 7 June to Thursday 9 June 2022, will focus on concrete and practical action, enabled by new technology, to halt needless energy waste across industry, transport, construction and existing buildings. Together, the IEA, the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities, and Danfoss, will present the role and opportunity for energy efficiency technology in building a global path to net zero emissions in the energy sector by 2050, and explain
