London to Host IEA's Major Energy Security Summit in 2025
The International Energy Agency (IEA) will host an International Summit on the Future of Energy Security in 2025, organized by the UK government in London. The summit will focus on evaluating current and future risks to the global energy system, addressing geopolitical, technological, and economic factors affecting energy security at both national and international levels. Key topics include shifts in energy demand, supply, and trade; the adoption of clean and efficient energy solutions; the availability of essential minerals and metals for clean energy technologies; and investment strategies during the transition away from fossil fuels.
The IEA has been a prominent player in international energy security for 50 years, assisting in managing supply disruptions during crises such as the 2008 global energy crisis and advising Europe to reduce reliance on Russian natural gas following the Ukraine conflict. UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has emphasized the importance of transitioning to clean, homegrown energy to ensure long-term energy security. The summit aims to bring together green business leaders and decision-makers from around the world to discuss and prioritize solutions and opportunities for a secure and sustainable energy future.
