IEA 2022 Ministerial Meeting

The Year of Implementation: Accelerating Global Action on Clean Energy and Energy Security

Energy and climate ministers from IEA Member, Association and Accession countries, and other key partners, will meet in Paris on 23 and 24 March for the 2022 IEA Ministerial Meeting, which comes at a critical time for the global economy and energy markets following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Since the start of the crisis, the IEA and its Members have expressed their solidarity with Ukraine, responding with clear actions in response to the energy market impacts. The 2022 IEA Ministerial Meeting will address today’s urgent energy security challenges, including the importance of accelerating the clean energy transition as a key part of the solution.

The Ministerial Meeting will be chaired by US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, with three Vice Chairs: Angus Taylor, Australia’s Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction; Tinne Van der Straeten, Belgium’s Minister of Energy; and Dan Jørgensen, Denmark’s Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities. Top representatives from industry, finance and civil society will also participate in the event.

Governments are seeking to ensure secure and affordable energy supplies for citizens while implementing the commitments they made at the COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow aimed at reducing global emissions. The Ministerial Meeting will be an important opportunity to advance the IEA’s engagement on these critical issues with representatives of the Energy Business Council and the wider IEA Family of Accession and Association countries and other key partners. 

The livestream link available on this page will display the Ministerial plenary session, starting on March 23, at 2pm.
