World Energy Outlook 2021

Following the publication of their report on “Net Zero by 2050” this past May, and just ahead of COP26 in Glasgow, the International Energy Agency will publish the 2021 edition of their flagship World Energy Outlook on October 13 next.

Continuing a tradition of several years, Tim Gould, IEA’s Chief Energy Economist, will present the report at SciencesPo on October 20 - at a time of great turbulence in global energy markets, with prices for natural gas, oil, coal, electricity and carbon all heading towards high or even unprecedented levels, and threatening the global post-Covid recovery.

What are we to make of the current situation? What scenarios for the future of energy and climate change?
