Launched in November 2017, the International Energy Agency's (IEA) Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) aims to accelerate global clean energy transitions by providing support to governments whose energy policies will significantly influence the prospects for and speed of the global transition towards more sustainable energy production and use. Priority countries include Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and South Africa, as well as other IEA Association countries and key regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
This report outlines CETP efforts during the first year (2018), including summaries of accomplishments from the six priority countries as well as how activities were tailored for each country. Key successes for CETP efforts in its inaugural year include more than 2,500 people trained, more than 20 high-level exchanges (ministers and other high-level decision makers), and 22 major analyses conducted or enhanced by CETP, which have cumulatively contributed to a wide variety of real-world impacts. The report’s second half looks forward to 2019 and beyond, with increased application of IEA capabilities in areas such as data and statistics, electricity, and sectoral work.
