10th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency

The International Energy Agency’s 10th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency is being co-hosted by IEA Executive Director Dr Fatih Birol and European Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen, in Brussels on 12 and 13 June 2025. The event is being held in partnership with the Energy Efficiency Movement.

The 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.

The 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. 

A 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.

We look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to this pivotal event. Participation is by invitation only. If you have any questions then please contact efficiency.conference@iea.org

For this year's event we’re inviting young people around the world to capture the meaning of energy efficiency in their lives through photography. The IEA is pleased to be holding a contest for young photographers to make energy efficiency visible to the world. The winning entries will be displayed at the Conference, and the photographers will be invited to present their work there. More details are available on the photo competition website.
