The webinar will present the IEA’s recent State of Energy Policy report and the IEA Global Energy Policies Hub, highlighting selected insights and methodologies. 

The IEA’s State of Energy Policy series provides comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of energy and climate policies worldwide, highlighting the most substantial changes in the preceding 12 months while anchoring them in the larger policy evolution. The reports build on the IEA Global Energy Policies Hub, a publicly available online resource of more than 6 500 energy and climate policies across 200 policy types and 84 countries, reviewed by IEA officials for their respective countries each year.

This year’s report features spotlights on  

• energy security policies since the first oil crisis in 1973,
• incentive schemes and trade measures for clean energy technologies and commodities, and
• the policy momentum seen since 2024 around universal energy access, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa 

It also introduces  

• the first-ever tracking of government energy spending disbursements against budgeted provisions, 
• an in-depth analysis of the evolution of energy efficiency and fuel switching standards in both coverage and stringency, and
• a new, exclusive assessment of energy sector component of the latest climate commitments around COP-30.
