Iea
The International Energy Agency (IEA), headquartered in France, is a prominent intergovernmental organisation established in 1974. It plays a crucial role in the global energy sector, focusing on energy security, economic development, and environmental sustainability. The IEA operates extensively across Europe, North America, and Asia, providing valuable insights and data to member countries and beyond. Renowned for its comprehensive energy statistics and policy recommendations, the IEA offers unique services such as the World Energy Outlook and the Energy Technology Perspectives. These resources are instrumental in guiding nations towards sustainable energy practices. With a strong market position, the IEA has achieved notable milestones, including its pivotal role in shaping international energy policies and fostering collaboration among member states.

Iea's reported carbon emissions
As of 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported a global CO2 emissions intensity of approximately 0.35 kg CO2e per kWh of electricity used. This figure reflects the IEA's ongoing commitment to monitoring and addressing carbon emissions in the energy sector. From 2019 to 2022, the IEA has shown a gradual decrease in emissions intensity, with values of 0.37 kg CO2e in 2019, 0.367 kg CO2e in 2020, and 0.358 kg CO2e in 2021. This trend indicates a positive movement towards reducing the carbon footprint associated with energy consumption. However, the IEA has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at achieving net-zero emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the IEA is actively engaged in emissions monitoring, further clarity on their strategic commitments to climate action is needed. Overall, the IEA's emissions data highlights the importance of continuous improvement in energy efficiency and the transition to cleaner energy sources to mitigate climate change impacts.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Iea is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
