The Global Conference will bring together ministers, CEOs and other senior leaders to help achieve accelerated progress on energy efficiency that is needed to address today’s global energy and climate crises. 

The 8th Global Conference will be hosted by French Minister of Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher and IEA Executive Director, Dr Fatih Birol, in partnership with Schneider Electric. This year’s event will take place in person in Paris from 7 to 8 June 2023, and will include a pre-conference day on Tuesday 6 June featuring side events and a welcome reception.

Participants will consider how policy action in areas such as innovation, digitalisation and finance can help governments as they turn to energy efficiency to boost affordability, energy security and climate action. 

Across two days of high-level discussions, the Global Conference will provide an action-oriented forum for decision makers to share experiences of implementing energy efficiency policy on the ground and driving investment in real-world projects.
