Chaired by US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, the IEA Ministerial Meeting of 23 and 24 March sent a strong message of unity in response to energy security and climate crises.
While Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered energy security concerns, Executive Director Dr. Fatih Birol underlined that strengthening the security of supply should go hand in hand with the clean energy transition toward Net Zero Emissions by 2050.
The Ministerial Meeting was the opportunity to welcome Lithuania as the IEA’s 31st Member Country. Ministers also announced that Argentina and Egypt are the latest major emerging economies to become IEA Association countries. The Ministers also decided to reappoint Dr. Fatih Birol as Executive Director for a third term between 2023 and 2027.
