Pleased to address #G7 Climate, Energy & Environment Ministers as they adopted the Communiqué and to see multiple references to IEA recommendations & analysis

I congratulated 🇮🇹 for its leadership & commended several milestones, including storage & coal phaseout for G7 countries

Data and transparency are critical to measure progress on emissions reduction. #COP29 met International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol to discuss the importance of IEA’s data on the energy transition and its implications for the 1.5 Mission.

Pleasure to meet with Canadian Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault at #G7Italy today

We spoke about further International Energy Agency-🇨🇦 collaboration on implementing #COP28 pledges and supporting #COP29 & next year's G7 in Canada - notably on subjects of critical minerals & resilient supply chains

Reaching energy & climate targets hinges on scaling up batteries fast enough. More than half of emissions reductions needed rely on their use

Energy storage, led by batteries, needs to increase sixfold by 2030 to help meet the goals set at COP28 👉 iea.li/4deKnyz

Delighted to meet with Minister Kamara of Mauritania, which holds the African Union Presidency, on the sidelines of the #G7 Ministerial in Turin to discuss the upcoming Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa on 14 May, hosted by International Energy Agency, Tanzania, Norway & African Development Bank Group

Productive meeting with UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell in Turin

We discussed the close cooperation between International Energy Agency & UNFCCC on tracking & implementing #COP28 outcomes – as well as preparations for #COP29 & the upcoming IEA-COP29 High Level Dialogue on 15 May at IEA HQ

Yesterday, I also had an insightful discussion with my friend International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol Fatih Birol at #G7 in 🇮🇹.

We spoke about the upcoming COP29 and further collaboration to deliver a global energy transition moving away from fossil fuels.

A pleasure to meet with Algerian Energy Minister Mohamed Arkab to discuss the need for stronger global efforts to expand electricity & clean cooking access in Africa

We also spoke about broader African energy market challenges and opportunities

Delighted to meet with Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade & Industry Ken Saito to discuss International Energy Agency’s follow-up work on the outcomes of 🇯🇵’s 2023 #G7 Summit

We also spoke about nuclear power's role in energy transitions, as well as supply security for critical minerals & natural gas

At the #G7 Energy Ministerial, led by 🇮🇹 Minister Gilberto Pichetto, I called for a sixfold increase in global energy storage by 2030 to support the tripling of renewables, as highlighted in International Energy Agency’s recent report

I also emphasised the importance of diversified clean energy supply chains

Very pleased to meet with EU Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra today at the #G7 Ministerial in Turin

We discussed key milestones for climate & energy action on the road to #COP29 and how Europe can strengthen its industrial competitiveness in the new energy global economy that’s emerging

Excellent discussion with COP29 AZ President-Designate Mukhtar Babayev on ensuring successful outcomes in Baku this year & International Energy Agency's support for countries on new Nationally Determined Contributions

Looking forward to hosting our 1st IEA-COP29 High-Level Dialogue on 15 May in Paris

Ahead of the G7 Italy Ministerial in Turin, I gave a keynote address to industry leaders at the B7 Conference alongside 🇮🇹 Minister Gilberto Pichetto

I highlighted Europe's need for a new industrial masterplan to revive its industries of today & ensure competitive industries of tomorrow

Excellent exchange with Italian Minister Gilberto Pichetto at the #G7 Ministerial

We discussed how the G7 can play a leading role in catalysing financing for energy transitions in emerging & developing economies

International Energy Agency will work closely with 🇮🇹's #G7 Presidency on its energy priorities

Great pleasure to meet with Brazil's Environment & Climate Change Minister Marina Silva at the #G7 Ministerial in Turin

We discussed priorities under 🇧🇷's G20 Presidency for a just & inclusive energy transition, especially mobilising investment in emerging & developing economies

Pleased to speak at the Atlantic Council Future of Energy Summit in Turin today

The US & EU have made great strides in their cooperation on energy security & climate action. But greater efforts are needed to mobilise the financing to address energy inequities, notably in Africa.

This morning, we published a new report on Batteries & Secure Energy Transitions 👉 iea.li/4aKrGB8

In just 1️⃣ hour, join IEA’s Fatih Birol, Laura Cozzi & Brent Wanner as they discuss the main findings

Watch along LIVE from 11:00 CEST 👉 iea.li/4aKrH8a

Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions is out today ! International Energy Agency

Free to download, it covers the whole battery ecosystem, manufacturing to uses in power and EVs in pursuit of #COP28 goals on:
#renewables
#energyefficiency
& transition away from #fossilfuels

Batteries are a vital part of the energy transition. Here's why:

- They're the fastest growing clean technology on the market

- They help meet climate goals & ensure energy security

- They bring down emissions in power & transport

International Energy Agency's new report ➡️ iea.li/3QmAogL

Tomorrow, we'll launch a new Special Report on Batteries & Secure Energy Transitions

It explores the key role of batteries in meeting #COP28 outcomes — including tripling renewables & doubling energy efficiency progress by 2030, and transitioning away from fossil fuels
