The International Energy Agency today announced that some 60 governments from countries around the world - the large majority at Minister or equivalent level - will take part in the international Summit on the Future of Energy Security, which is being held in partnership with the UK government in London on 24-25 April.
The Ministers and senior government officials taking part in the Summit are from countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East - including those on the front lines of a wide range of energy challenges, including access, affordability, reliability and climate.
Leaders from all across the energy sector - including oil, gas, renewables, electricity, nuclear, critical minerals and more - as well as from international organisations and civil society, will also take part in the discussions in and around the Summit, which will seek to build consensus on a holistic approach to energy security and ensure governments have the tools they need to prevent and respond to the range of challenges confronting them in a fast-evolving context. Altogether, 120 high-level invitees will participate in the Summit itself, and many more in the associated events.
UK Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband and IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol will co-host the event and feature among the keynote speakers.
Additional high-level participants will be announced next week.
Key sessions of the Summit will be livestreamed on IEA digital channels, including the Summit event page.
