Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.
This Earth Day came at a particularly vital time for clean energy transitions around the world. With governments preparing stimulus packages to drive the economic recovery from Covid19, everyone at the International Energy Agency (IEA) is hard at work to help ensure the recovery is a sustainable one.
Here’s how:
- The World Energy Outlook team is preparing a special report with actionable measures for governments to support economic recovery & job creation while achieving structural emissions reductions.
- Today IEA is bringing together energy ministers for vital discussions on making clean energy investments a core part of economic recovery plans.
- Next week IEA is launching Global Energy Review 2020, a report exploring the effects of the #Covid19 crisis on global energy trends & CO2 emissions.
- The Global Commission for Urgent Action on Energy Efficiency will soon publish their recommendations.
- This summer IEA is releasing a completely revamped version of the Energy Technology Perspectives report – the world’s guidebook on clean energy tech.
