WHAT: Press conference for the IEA's World Energy Outlook 2016

Dear journalist,
Please join us for the formal launch of the World Energy Outlook 2016 in London, followed by a press conference hosted by Dr Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, Laura Cozzi, the head of the IEA's Energy Demand Outlook Division and Tim Gould, head of the IEA's Energy Supply Outlook Division.
WEO offers the most comprehensive analysis of what the transition to a low-carbon energy sector might look like, thanks to its energy projections to 2040. It reviews the key opportunities and challenges ahead for renewable energy, the central pillar of the energy transformation, as well as the critical role for energy efficiency.
This year, WEO follows the historic ratification of the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, which will transform the global energy system for decades to come. WEO 2016 examines how a post-Paris world redefines the idea of energy security, particularly in the power sector, the frontline in the fight against climate change. The report explores how oil, natural gas and coal are adjusting to today's market conditions and assesses the risks that lie ahead, from under-investment in essential supply to stranded assets.
WEO 2016 looks at individual country pledges and examines how close - or far - nations are from reaching their goals. It outlines a course that would limit the rise in global temperature to below 2 °C and also plots possible pathways for meeting even more ambitious goals.
WEO 2016 also devotes a special chapter to the critical interplay between water and energy and the stress points that arise as the linkages between these two sectors intensify.
This invitation is reserved for accredited members of the press.

About the IEA: The International Energy Agency, the global energy authority, was founded in 1974 to help its member countries co-ordinate a collective response to major oil supply disruptions. Its mission has evolved and rests today on three main pillars: working to ensure global energy security; expanding energy cooperation and dialogue around the world; and promoting an environmentally sustainable energy future.
