Contribution to the IEA & Energy Transition Support

Given the momentum to implement commitments undertaken by the EU and others in the framework of the Paris Agreement, the EU will support and help shape sustainable energy policies in emerging economies. With its specific all-of-energy expertise, the International Energy Agency is well placed to support EU's work in helping guide major emerging economies' (such as China, Indonesia, Brazil, India, South Africa and Mexico) energy transition through policy advice and guidance efforts.

The proposed activities primarily aim to accelerate energy transition efforts in emerging economies by:

• Strengthening training and capacity building, targeting improved ability to develop a sound, analytically rigorous evidence base for policy action (via statistics, indicators, energy modelling, and improved data analysis capabilities);
• Building more effective knowledge and information systems, as well as enabling environments, creating capacity for stronger policy action (via country-specific
