Global Energy Efficiency Alliance holds first meeting at World Governments Summit
Baku, February 6, AZERTAC
The Global Energy Efficiency Alliance (GEEA) held its first meeting at the World Government Summit (WGS) 2026, according to WAM.
Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure and President of GEEA, chaired the meeting, which brought together ministers representing member states, along with representatives of international organisations, the private sector, and financing institutions, marking a strategic step toward a new phase of international collaboration on energy efficiency.
The meeting featured a presentation of GEEA’s Charter, under which member states commit to the Alliance’s targets, including doubling the global rate of energy efficiency improvement to exceed 4 percent annually by 2030. This aligns with international climate commitments and contributes to accelerating emissions reductions and enhancing resource efficiency, positioning energy efficiency as one of the most impactful and fastest pathways to delivering tangible climate and economic benefits during the current decade.
Participants also discussed the broad outlines of the Alliance’s strategy and its statute, including the establishment of subsidiary committees, with a focus on developing integrated and actionable work plans that ensure a transition from commitments to practical implementation.
Discussions further addressed policy alignment between national and international efforts, governance mechanisms, impact measurement, and the exchange of data and expertise.
The meeting also witnessed the launch of GEEA’s digital platform, GEEA.AE, the first of its kind interactive hub for exchanging expertise on energy efficiency policies, government projects, and investment opportunities available across member states, while also providing a platform to showcase the technologies and innovative solutions offered by members.
Powered by artificial intelligence, the platform brings together governments, the private sector, technology providers, the banking and financial sectors, and academia.
