The latest IEA data, analysis and policy advice on global action to meet the energy goals set at COP28 – and keep the target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C within reach.
Nearly 200 countries made major collective pledges on energy at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai with the aim of keeping within reach the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. For the first time, governments recognised that to achieve this target, energy-related emissions need to reach net zero by 2050, and they set key goals to help meet this objective – including tripling global renewable energy capacity and doubling global energy efficiency improvements by 2030, accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels, and deploying emerging technologies, such as low-emissions hydrogen and carbon capture.
The International Energy Agency (IEA), in collaboration with UN Climate Change, is closely tracking progress towards the energy objectives established at COP28. This forms part of IEA's broader work, at the request of governments, to support the full and timely implementation of the energy promises made in Dubai by identifying pathways forwards and providing policy makers with advice on accelerating national and secure clean energy transitions.
