Our 9th Annual Global Conference on #EnergyEfficiency kicks off in just 3️⃣0️⃣ minutes! Join Ministers, CEOs & other leading figures as they address what's needed to achieve the global goal of doubling efficiency progress by 2030 Tune in from 8:00 CEST ➡️ https://t.co/AraEiDpE9X

🚨 Energy data nerds! 🚨 Just unveiled: new-look country pages on the @IEA website - rich info now available at country/regional level on 🔋Energy mix 🌬️Emissions ⚡️Electricity 📉Efficiency/demand 🛢️Renewables and fuels Huge congrats to colleagues! https://t.co/fPdRwnT6v1

That is roughly ten times as much electricity as EVs used, for anyone keeping score.

📢 Kicking off in 2.5 hours! 📢 The @IEA's webinar on "Doubling global progress on energy efficiency" - the goal agreed by every government at COP28 Join IEA experts inc @BrianRMotherway and me to explore what the goal is, and how to get there https://t.co/JIqYQE8TUP

At COP28, governments worldwide called for a doubling of global energy efficiency improvements by 2030. On 16 Jan, join IEA experts as they discuss why doing so is vital to reach climate goals and what's needed to achieve this target. Register now → https://t.co/6UY1avHfuT

The world added a historic 510 gigawatts of renewable power capacity in 2023, up 50% from a year before Under current policies & market trends, global renewable capacity is set to be 2.5 times higher by 2030, not far off the COP28 goal of tripling More: https://t.co/gNMLDLgkOA

Many views on COP and its outcomes, but certainly a historic one to see #energyefficiency feature so prominently. The ambition to double efficiency progress this decade is now an agreed outcome. What does this mean? 🧵

It's Day 7 here at #COP28 and parties were debating fossil fuel phase out / energy package in the Global Stocktake until late last night. My summary: At the end of the first week of COP, the opponents of fossil fuel phase out have revealed themselves 🧵

Today at 15h30 GST at @COP28_UAE and @EC_AVService we will launch the Global Pledge to TRIPLE renewables and DOUBLE energy efficiency by 2030. Planet-wide goals that bring us closer to a clean energy future for all. 120 countries are on board. Join the movement.

🗣 “The energy sector is taking early steps to harness the power of AI to boost efficiency & accelerate innovation”   In a new commentary, @vida_rozite, @MillerJDavid & Sungjin Oh explore how AI can support efficient, clean & resilient power systems 👉 https://t.co/G2cKFLr4Wy

With COP28 approaching fast, the @IEA has been working with govts, the European Commission and COP Presidency to agree goal of doubling energy efficiency progress this decade. Today we released a short commentary on what this entails 🧵 1/8 https://t.co/QiRbXaP91i

SUNDAY THREAD: This week the IEA updated their groundbreaking 1.5 degree Net Zero report. I was lucky enough to be a peer reviewer, and I want to explain in my own words what I think it means.. Yes we can still keep to 1.5 degrees! Were you ready to give up? So many people were

We were very pleased to work with the Government of India on the #G20 Voluntary Action Plan on Doubling the Rate of Energy Efficiency Improvement by 2030; and delighted to see it referenced in the Leaders' Declaration

Sunday fun fact: Paris' 100-strong fleet of hydrogen-powered taxis is called, without a hint of irony, 'Hype'

Keeping cool on a hotter planet has major implications for energy systems Not getting it right has disastrous consequences - an enormously important topic as heat domes sit over vast swathes of the planet This is not going away.

All eyes now on COP28, where governments - and the UAE Presidency - will try to formalise the target COP28 President has already made the target part of one the event's four pillars https://t.co/jPZ4J38jd4

Achieving this would reduce 📉 global energy demand by 190 EJ ☁️ global CO2 emissions by 11Gt ...both almost 1/3 of current total It is also a vital step on the path to Net Zero - enabling lower-cost, more equitable decarbonisation in 2030+ https://t.co/8e51SA54lo

We have tracked efficiency progress for years now 2022 was a good year for global efficiency, up 2.2% Thanks to progress on ⚡️ electrification, record 💱investments and stronger 🏦 policies in the face of the crisis But we need to double this by 2030 https://t.co/sl5HducpcG

📢 International momentum is building on #EnergyEfficiency Yday G20 members (>80% global GDP) agreed to double the rate of efficiency progress by 2030 🤯 ...building on agreement between 45 govts last month at @IEA conference in Versailles 🧵 https://t.co/LFlbuLRY7U

🙌 On the first, we laid the groundwork last month in Versailles - where 45 governments endorsed the doubling goal https://t.co/IseKJifCqv
