WEO 2009 Climate Change Excerpt (early release)
Following IEA discussions with national governments, the UNFCCC Secretariat and a number of key climate change experts, Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka has taken the decision to exceptionally release a special early excerpt of the World Energy Outlook 2009 climate change analysis, and to make this available to all governments participating in the international climate change negotiations.
The World Energy Outlook 2009 Climate Change Excerpt will be released to coincide with key climate discussions this autumn, such as the UNFCCC meeting in Bangkok between 28 September and 9 October 2009 which is a fundamental session in the run-up to Copenhagen. The WEO excerpt will set out the latest energy trends and their impact on greenhouse-gas emissions, updated in light of the financial crisis, as well as detailing a pathway for the energy sector to achieve a transition to a low-carbon world – with a particular focus on the investments needed between today and 2020, a focal point for the international negotiations.

World Energy Outlook 2009 (to be released 10 November)
The 2009 edition of the World Energy Outlook (WEO), to be released on
10 November, will provide updated projections that take into account the implications of the global credit crisis, the economic slowdown and the recent slump in the prices of oil and other forms of energy. It will also present in-depth analysis of three special topics:
- Financing energy investment under a post-2012 climate framework
- Prospects for global natural gas markets
- Energy trends in Southeast Asia
Governments and industry from all across the globe have come to rely on the WEO to provide a consistent basis on which they can formulate policies and design business plans. As it attracts significant press coverage, the report also plays a key role in raising public awareness of the key energy challenges the world is facing, such as worsening oil supply prospects, volatile energy prices and rising energy-related emissions of greenhouse gases.
