IEA is an intergovernmental organisation which acts as an energy policy advisor to 28 member countries in their effort to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for their citizens.
Founded during the oil crisis of 1973-74, the IEA’s initial role was to co-ordinate measures in times of oil supply emergencies. As energy markets have changed, so has the IEA. Its mandate has broadened to incorporate the “Three E’s” of balanced energy policy making:

• Economic development
• Environmental protection
Current work focuses on climate change policies, market reform, energy technology collaboration and outreach to the rest of the world, especially major consumers and producers of energy like China, India, Russia and the OPEC countries.
