SUMMARY:IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit
DESCRIPTION:The International Energy Agency will host the first ever international summit on critical minerals and their role in clean energy transitions on 28 September 2023 in Paris. \nThe IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit will focus on measures to promote the secure\, sustainable and responsible supply of raw materials that have a central role in the global clean energy transition. The Summit will convene ministers from countries around the world – including both large mineral producers and consumers – as well as business leaders\, investors\, heads of international organisations and civil society representatives. \nThe convening of the IEA Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Summit comes after the IEA was given a Ministerial mandate by its member governments last year to deepen its work on critical minerals. Building on the analysis of its landmark report The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions\, the Agency has launched new work streams to improve the transparency and security of critical minerals supplies and just published its inaugural Critical Minerals Market Review. The IEA was also recently asked by G7 Climate\, Energy and Environment Ministers to provide support on critical minerals. \nThe Summit will aim to build a broader consensus among the participants on effective courses of action to diversify mineral supply chains\, enhance market transparency\, accelerate technological innovation and recycling\, and promote sustainable and responsible development practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernment \n\nFernanda Avila\, Secretary of Mining\, Argentina\nMadeleine King\, Minister for Resources and Minister for Northern Australia\, Australia\nVolker Holubetz\, Minister Plenipotentiary\, Austria\nTinne van der Straeten\, Minister of Energy\, Belgium\nJonathan Wilkinson\, Minister of Natural Resources\, Canada\nMark Brown\, Prime Minister\, Cook Islands\nJozef Síkela\, Minister of Industry and Trade\, Czech Republic\nMartin Bille Hermann\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Denmark\nTarek El-Molla\, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources\nEne Jürjens\, Director of Mineral Resources Department\, Estonia\nThierry Breton\, European Commissioner for Internal Market\, European Union\nWille Rydman\, Minister of Economic Affairs\, Finland\nAgnès Panier-Runacher\, Minister for Energy Transition\, France\nMichaela Spaeth\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Germany\nAlexandra Sdoukou\, Deputy Minister of Environment & Energy\, Greece\nAttila Steiner\, State Secretary for Energy and Climate Policy\, Hungary\nArifin Tasrif\, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources\, Indonesia\nEamon Ryan\, Minister for the Environment\, Climate\, and Communications\, Ireland\nHaim Assaraf\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Israel\nGilberto Pichetto Fratin\, Minister of the Environment and Energy Security\, Italy\nYasutoshi Nishimura\, Minister of Economy\, Trade and Industry\, Japan\nMasahiro Komura\, Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs\, Japan\nSalim Mvurya\, EGH – Cabinet Minister for the Ministry of Mining\, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs\, Kenya\nMoon Kyu Bang\, Minister of Trade\, Industry and Energy of Korea\, Korea\nDainius Kreivys\, Minister for Energy\, Lithuania\nHerindrainy Olivier Rakotomalala\, Minister of Mines and Strategic Resources\, Madagascar\nVladimiro Manhiça\, Director for Geological Surveys at the National Institute of Mines\, Mozambique\nLiesje Schreinemacher\, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation\, The Netherlands\nAnne Marit Bjørnflaten\, State Secretary of Trade\, Industry and Fisheries\, Norway\nAnna Moskwa\, Minister of Climate and Environment\, Poland\nAna Fontoura Gouveia\, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate\, Portugal\nPeter Dovhun\, Minister of Economy\, Slovak Republic\nSara Aagesen\, Secretary of State for Energy\, Spain\nDaniel Liljeberg\, Secretary of State\, Sweden\nGiancarlo Kessler\, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the OECD\, Switzerland\nAlparslan Bayraktar\, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources\, Türkiye\nRoman Opimakh\, Director General\, Ukrainian Geological Survey\, Ukraine\nNusrat Ghani\, Minister of State in the Department for Business and Trade\, United Kingdom\nJennifer M.

It is set for continued rapid growth\, moving it increasingly to centre stage for the global mining industry and policy makers focused on energy and climate goals. \nGrowing investment in critical mineral development provides grounds for cautious optimism on future supplies. Yet the risk of project delays and technology-specific shortfalls leaves little room for complacency – and more projects are needed by 2030 in a scenario that limits global warming to 1.5 °C\, according to the IEA’s analysis. \nLimited progress on diversifying supply sources also remains a major concern\, while environmental\, social and governance performance offers significant scope for improvement. These trends underscore the importance of high-level dialogue among global stakeholders. \nFor more information on the outlook for critical minerals\, visit the IEA Critical Minerals Data Explorer. This interactive online tool maps out global demand projections for more than three dozen minerals essential to clean energy transitions under various scenarios and technology trends. \n\n\n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Energy Transition Summit
DESCRIPTION:Accelerating progress\, overcoming protectionism\, managing tight capital\nAn unprecedented alignment of the climate change emergency with economic and supply chain factors and national security drivers has turbocharged the energy transition\, boosting the diversification of energy supply and increasing investment into clean energy sources. However\, these combined forces have also triggered a nationalistic and protectionist approach\, which has deepened supply chain fragmentation and threatens to drive up the cost of the transition and ultimately slow progress. Against this complex backdrop\, how can the industry find the right balance between sustainability\, security and affordability? \nThe 8th edition of the Financial Times’ Energy Transition Summit will bring together senior leaders from the energy industry spectrum\, finance and business leaders from high energy consuming industries who are tackling this energy trilemma. Expert-led and FT-moderated panel discussions\, keynote interviews and debates will provide key insights and practical takeaways on how to continue the acceleration of the transition and navigate the geopolitical\, technological and financial challenges that leaders are facing. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:International Day of Clean Energy
DESCRIPTION:Clean energy: for all…\nEnergy lies at the core of a double challenge: leaving no one behind and protecting the Planet. And clean energy is crucial to its solution. \nIn a world grappling with climate change\, clean energy plays a vital role in reducing emissions\, and can also benefit communities lacking access to reliable power sources. Still today\, 675 million people live in the dark – 4 in 5 are in Sub-Saharan Africa. \nThe connection between clean energy\, socio-economic development\, and environmental sustainability is crucial in addressing issues faced by vulnerable communities worldwide. \nFor populations without clean energy access\, the lack of reliable power hinders education\, healthcare\, and economic opportunities\, and many of these developing regions still rely heavily on polluting fossil fuels for their daily life\, perpetuating poverty. If current trends continue\, by 2030 one in four people will still use unsafe\, unhealthy and inefficient cooking systems\, such as burning wood or dung. \nAlthough this situation has been improving\, the world is not on track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7)\, which aims to ensure access to affordable\, reliable\, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. The General Assembly will hold a Global Stocktaking on SDG7 in April 2024 to assess progress and recommend solutions. \n  \n… and for our planet\nBut adopting clean energy is integral to the fight against climate change\, as well. \nA large chunk of the greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the Sun’s heat are generated through energy production\, by burning fossil fuels (oil\, coal\, and gas) to generate electricity and heat. \nThe science is clear: to limit climate change\, we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels and invest in alternative sources of energy that are clean\, accessible\, affordable\, sustainable\, and reliable. Renewable energy sources – which are available in abundance all around us\, provided by the sun\, wind\, water\, waste\, and heat from the Earth – are replenished by nature and emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants into the air. \nThe International Day of Clean Energy on January 26 is a call to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet. \nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:ACCELERATING DECARBONIZATION ACROSS INDUSTRIES IN THE US
DESCRIPTION:How can collaboration and digitalization drive the infrastructure transition?\n\n\nWebinar | Thursday April 11 | 13:00 – 13:50 ET\n\n\n\nThe adoption of sustainable practices and processes is increasingly viewed as a competitive advantage as well as an environmental and social responsibility. Leaders across industries are working to adapt their business models and accelerate the transition to net zero. However\, executives’ confidence in achieving decarbonization targets is low. According to Siemens’ Infrastructure Transition Monitor research carried out by FT Longitude\, only 15% of respondents believe they are very likely to reach their emission goals for the year ahead. \nIn addition\, some of the sectors that are aiding the shift away from fossil fuels\, including battery and semiconductor production\, and EV manufacturing and charging\, are actually contributing to the pressure on infrastructure and electricity supply. Digital technologies\, such as AI capabilities\, are accelerating positive change\, yet the rapid expansion of data centers is also increasing power demand. The IEA estimates that power consumption at data facilities makes up 1-1.5% of overall global energy use. \nNo one entity can meet corporate sustainability commitments alone; it takes an ecosystem of energy-intensive industries\, utilities and technology partners working together to reach a solution. \nThis panel on Accelerating Decarbonization Across Industries in the US\, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Siemens\, is for corporate leaders working on emissions reduction and business growth. The discussion will consider how to work together across industries to find effective ways to utilize technology in order to speed up the infrastructure transition and reach sustainability goals. \n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual MeetingHeld during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) | Abu Dhabi\, United Arab Emirates \nThe Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual Meeting takes place during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) and serves as a high-level convening point for global leaders across finance\, policy\, energy\, and innovation. The meeting is designed to accelerate the flow of capital toward climate solutions—transforming global climate commitments\, including those advanced at COP28\, into deployable\, real-world investments. \nHosted across key financial and institutional venues including Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC)\, the GCFC Annual Meeting has become a cornerstone of ADSW’s finance and policy agenda. Recent editions\, including the January 2025 meeting\, brought together more than 300 senior stakeholders—investors\, policymakers\, innovators\, regulators\, and financial institutions—to align capital with climate outcomes at scale. \nPurpose and Strategic Focus\nThe GCFC Annual Meeting is explicitly designed to bridge the gap between climate ambition and climate finance execution. Its core objective is to mobilize both public and private capital toward sustainable\, bankable projects that support the global energy transition\, particularly in emerging and high-growth markets. \nCentral to the program is positioning the UAE as a global climate finance hub\, capable of convening international capital\, structuring innovative financial mechanisms\, and enabling cross-border public-private collaboration. \nKey Themes\nRecent GCFC Annual Meetings have been structured around action-oriented themes such as “Climate Meets Capital”and “Progress in Action\,” reflecting a deliberate shift from pledges to implementation. Core thematic areas include: \n\n\nScaling climate and transition finance beyond pilot projects \n\n\nMobilizing private capital alongside sovereign and multilateral funding \n\n\nAdvancing green finance instruments\, including green bonds\, blended finance\, and carbon pricing \n\n\nLeveraging AI and data-driven tools to improve transparency\, risk assessment\, and climate asset evaluation \n\n\nAligning financial systems with net-zero and energy transition pathways \n\n\nWhat to Expect\nBased on recent GCFC Annual Meetings\, participants can expect: \n\n\nHigh-level dialogues on translating COP outcomes into scalable\, investable finance—particularly for emerging and developing markets \n\n\nShowcases of innovation\, including AI-enabled climate finance tools and data platforms supporting better capital allocation \n\n\nStrategic briefings on upcoming initiatives\, priorities\, and frameworks for accelerating energy transition investments \n\n\nAction-oriented collaboration\, connecting investors\, governments\, and solution providers around tangible financing pathways \n\n\nLooking Ahead\nLooking forward\, the GCFC Annual Meeting aims to “manufacture climate finance at scale”—moving beyond individual transactions toward systemic solutions that reshape how climate capital is structured\, deployed\, and measured. Future sessions are expected to build on this momentum\, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s role as a convening center for global climate finance leadership and execution. \nFor ESG News Media Opportunities at the Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) Annual Meeting: \nESG News will be hosting featured sessions\, interviews\, and fireside chats during ADSW.

Over the years\, it has continuously promoted green development\, injecting vitality into international cross-sectoral environmental exchange and co-operation among governments\, industries\, education institutions\, research institutes\, users\, and investors. In alignment with Macao’s “1+4” strategy for appropriate economic diversification\, the MIECF closely follows the “Macao + Hengqin” strategic positioning to strengthen regional environmental co-operation. At the same time\, it serves as a green platform for fostering international exchanges and collaboration in the environmental industry\, contributing to Macao’s high-quality and sustainable socio-economic development.\n \n2026 MIECF Theme: Low-carbon\, Zero Waste Cities: Embarking on a Global Collaboration\nIn alignment with the country’s “dual carbon” goals and the key environmental protection policies of the Macao SAR Government\, the 2026MIECF will\, for the fifth consecutive year\, serve as a professional exhibition achieving “carbon neutrality”. Through organising a series of professional and international forums\, exhibitions\, and business matching\, as well as the Green Public Day and various exchange activities\, it advocates for the joint construction of a low-carbon\, zero-waste\, eco-friendly green city\, and embarks on a collaborative journey to advance global environmental protection efforts.\n \nAs a key regional platform for environmental exchange and co-operation\, this year’s MIECF 2026  covers topics including industrial green transformation\, eco-friendly green city construction\, international energy collaboration\, and green technology development. It brings together global environmental experts and renowned enterprises to share advanced environmental information and technologies\, collaboratively exploring pathways for low-carbon\, zero-waste city development. In addition\, it introduces the “Zero-Waste Circular Economy Exhibition Zone” for the first time\, showcasing environmental projects in low-carbon technologies\, clean energy\, water resource management\, and green buildings. This facilitates the matching of global environmental resource supply and demand\, explores further international green co-operation business opportunities\, and empowers the construction of low-carbon\, zero-waste cities. \n\nTo Register\, 2026MIECF Click Here\n\n\n\n\nLiam Marais
