The International Energy Agency (IEA) has launched a new project to spur greater involvement of citizens in clean energy transitions, in a much-needed and major new community-focused project. The “Global Commission on People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions” program will bring together decision makers, leaders and governments and will be headed by Denmark’s government.
“The new global commission’s aim will be to put people at the heart of clean energy transitions”, said the IEA. “Its primary focus will be on how best to empower citizens and ensure they benefit from the opportunities and navigate the disruptions that arise. The commission’s meetings will result in key recommendations in advance of COP26 in November”.
