IEA is an autonomous intergovernmental organisation, established in 1974, that provides policy recommendations, analysis and data on the entire global energy sector.  The 31 member countries and 13 association countries of the IEA represent 75% of global energy demand.

  

It was set up under the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis to respond to physical disruptions in global oil supplies, provide data and statistics about the global oil market and energy sector.

  

Headquartered in Paris, France, IEA works with governments & industry to shape a secure & sustainable energy future for all.  It works with a broad range of international organisations and forums to ensure secure, affordable, and sustainable energy systems.

  

International Renewable Energy Agency - IRENA

  

IRENA is a lead global intergovernmental agency for energy transformation that serves as the principal platform for international cooperation, supports countries in their energy transitions, and provides state of the art data and analyses on technology, innovation, policy, finance, and investment.

  

Based on Abu Dhabi United (Arab Emirates), IRENA was founded in 2009 and formally established in 2011 as an intergovernmental organisation.  Today, agency's membership comprises 168 countries and the EU.

Cooperation among agencies

  

International agencies have worked together (e.g., IEA & IRENA) on a number of activities over the years to take advantage of synergies & complementarities in the activities of the organizations, at a time when the global energy landscape is witnessing rapid changes driven by the imperative to ensure energy security and achieve universal access to energy, while limiting adverse climate & environmental impacts.
