The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation committed to advancing security of energy supply, economic growth and environmental sustainability through energy policy co-operation. The IEA operates as an autonomous body within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Both the OECD and the IEA seek opportunities to work with an increasing number of non-members of growing importance to the world economy. The Agency aims to foster the contribution of the energy sector to economic development and environmental sustainability.
Since 2017, the IEA Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) has grown to be the IEA’s largest (at EUR 20 million a year) and, arguably, most important programme providing cutting-edge technical and policy support to emerging and developing economy governments whose energy policies will significantly impact the speed of, and prospects for, a global transition towards a more sustainable and inclusive energy system.
The IEA provides a breadth of analysis and policy advice to its member and Association countries across multilateral fora, notably the G7 and G20 with a range of presentations, reports and outcome documents for Ministerial and Leader-level meetings. The IEA’s role is increasingly called upon to achieve progress on global issues like energy security, clean energy transition, energy finance/investment and climate change. Effective IEA planning and coordination with the Presidency and across the IEA teams to support these multilateral fora is increasingly important for the Secretariat.
The position of CETP Officer – Caspian and Black Sea will be in the Office of Global Energy Relations (GER). Ger leads, strengthens and enhances IEA engagement with key Accession, Association and partner country governments, stakeholders and international organizations as well as to ensure internal co-ordination of these activities. This role will support the IEA’s work with Ukraine, East and Southeast Europe, as well as the Caucasus and Central Asia.
