Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP)
The Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) is IEA’s flagship programme for taking action to achieve a clean energy transformation worldwide. By helping countries around the world, particularly in emerging and developing economies, make the right choices for their energy future, it seeks to ensure a secure, sustainable energy future for all. Activities include data and analytical work, technical cooperation, policy advice and implementation, tracking the scale and speed of transitions, training and capacity building, and strategic/political dialogues. Work is delivered across three key pillars, accelerating National and Regional transitions, supporting outcomes of key global fora and shaping the global dialogue on issues of common interest and importance. The life of the CETP has coincided with possibly the most impactful and successful period in the IEA's history, helping embed its reputation as the world’s leading and most respected energy adviser.

State of implementation/results
- In 2024, the IEA played a key role in supporting the COP process and advancing global energy-related climate goals. Ahead of COP29, the IEA and Azerbaijan’s COP Presidency, with UNFCCC support, hosted four High-Level Energy Transition Dialogues in Paris, London, New York, and Baku to align strategies for implementing COP28 targets and raising ambitions. The New York (September) and Baku (November) events were partially supported by IKI. In Baku, during the COP29 World Leaders’ Climate Action Summit, the IEA and COP29 Presidency published a Chairs’ Summary and Call to Action, emphasizing commitments to the 1.5°C target and the first Global Stocktake outcomes.
- Drawing on its report From Taking Stock to Taking Action, the IEA supported COP29 in developing quantitative targets for energy storage and grid expansion, included in the COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge. Collaborating with the U.S., EU, and other members, the IEA helped align energy goals with a 1.5°C pathway. The report was highlighted in the UN Secretary-General’s 2024 UNGA speech.
- The IEA actively contributed to Brazil’s 2024 G20 Presidency, supporting working groups on future fuels, clean energy investment, and just transitions. With IKI support, the IEA informed the G20 Energy Efficiency Action Plan and led a TF-CLIMA plenary on COP28 energy goals and the G20 Roadmap to Increase Clean Energy in Developing Economies. Throughout the year, it supported TF-CLIMA outcome documents recognizing its role in advancing clean energy transitions.
- To strengthen energy policy capacity, the IEA conducted hands-on training in December 2024, focusing on NDC development and COP28 energy efficiency pledges. A major milestone was the Latin America Energy Efficiency Policy Training in São Paulo, organized with Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy and the Development Bank of Latin America. The event gathered 165 participants from 17 countries, featuring five training streams and a record-breaking 60% female participation.
