IEA-ECB-EIB Conference on Ensuring an Orderly Energy Transition

On 29 September 2023, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, European Investment Bank President Werner Hoyer, and International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol will host a high-level conference at the IEA's headquarters in Paris on how to ensure an orderly energy transition that supports Europe’s competitiveness and safeguards financial stability.

The conference will address the impacts of the global energy crisis on the clean energy transition in Europe. Delegates will tackle a range of issues including mobilising private sector capital to accelerate new investments and positioning Europe in a highly competitive global landscape for clean technology manufacturing. The role of central banks and supervisory authorities in managing risk related to the transition will also be high on the agenda.
