Monograph on Sustainable Finance.
It analyzes how progress can be made in increasing this funding with the help of experts who have been working for years from different institutions both nationally and internationally. Firstly, Julián Romero Zarco (OFISO) reviews the recent evolution of sustainable finance instruments, and Helena Viñes Fiestas, president of the European Union’s Sustainable Finance Platform, focuses […]
Global energy outlook.
There are three themes to highlight: energy security, which corresponds to the core of the IEA’s mandate and the imperatives of the present, given the growing risks in the Middle East, the prospects for clean energy transitions, which have accelerated rapidly in recent years but need to move much faster, and finally uncertainty, a factor […]
Pact for the future.
World leaders have approved a Pact for the Future that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. The Compact covers a wide range of topics including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations, and the transformation of global governance.
Renewables 2024.
This report on the renewable energy market provides forecasts for the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport, and heat through 2030, while also exploring the key challenges facing the industry and identifying barriers that prevent faster growth. In addition, it provides a country-level analysis on monitoring and progress towards the global target of […]
Methodology of the Taxonomy of Climate Bonds.
In 2023, the United Nations Environment Programme estimated a financing gap for adaptation of between $194 billion and $366 billion per year, and doubling international financing or relying solely on public sector financing is insufficient. Therefore, public sector finance must be complemented by private sector investments, and international cooperation to mobilize the necessary resources.
Tracking progress towards tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030.
The global energy transition has reached a critical moment. With ambitious targets aimed at tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency, the international community faces the need to implement rapid and profound changes to its systems. These goals are not only crucial to curbing climate change, but they represent an opportunity to reshape economies.
Global energy and climate model.
Since 1993, the IEA has provided energy projections with modelling tools. The GEC Model brings together the capabilities of the Global Energy Model and the Energy Technology Prospects. The result is a large-scale, bottom-up partial optimization modeling framework that enables a unique set of analytical capabilities across energy markets, technology trends, policy strategies, and investments […]
Air pollution trends in heating and cooling
The heating and cooling sector contributes to air pollution, so a transition from conventional technologies to cleaner technologies offers many compelling benefits, such as significantly reducing air pollution levels and energy demand. This transition can not only improve air quality and public health, but also contribute to mitigating climate change.
From balance to action.
This paper discusses the outcomes of COP28 held in December 2023, where 200 countries agreed on ambitious global energy transition targets, including achieving net-zero emissions in the energy sector by 2050, moving away from fossil fuels, tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030, doubling energy efficiency improvement rates, and accelerating the deployment of other low-emission […]
Implementation of European Standards by companies.
The main objective of this study is to illustrate the practices observed with the implementation of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards by 2024. The study focuses on a number of larger companies, chosen for their higher level of maturity and resources, and includes input from twenty-eight large companies from eight different industries divided between financial […]
