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.

In 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 33,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 10,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 4,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 18,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled about 15,000,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the IEA's total emissions were about 35,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 10,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 5,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 20,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction of approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. The IEA has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, as part of Finland's compliance with EU climate targets. This commitment applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with the reduction timeframe spanning from 2021 to 2030. The IEA's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, and all reported figures are derived directly from the agency's own assessments. The IEA continues to focus on enhancing its climate strategies and reducing its carbon footprint in alignment with global climate goals.

Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Iea has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
