IEA Hosts Virtual Workshop on Transition Finance

The International Energy Agency hosted its first Virtual Workshop on Transition Finance on 22 May 2025, drawing more than 70 participants from industry, government and the financial sector.

The discussions from the workshop will inform an upcoming IEA report on transition finance in the energy sector, scheduled for publication in Q3 2025.
The workshop featured nine expert speakers who presented at the following three sessions:
Session 1: Transition finance for energy companies
Session 2: Importance of governments
Session 3: Transition finance for financial institutions
