WEO workshop looks at what energy sector can do soon to limit climate change


Government, international and business leaders gather at IEA to advise on special report due out in June

More than 75 leaders in government, international organisations, industry, the finance and reinsurance sectors and academia gathered at the Paris headquarters of the IEA on Friday, 8 March, to offer insights and information for the World Energy Outlook 2013’s special report on the key issues, risks and uncertainties for the energy sector in relation to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

The special report, to be released on Monday, 10 June in London, will look at the short-term measures necessary in the changing global energy map to limit the average rise in global temperatures to no more than 2°Celsius. It also will examine how development of low-carbon energy sources may strand some fossil-fuel investments.
