The world appears to be emerging from the worst economic crisis in decades. Many countries have made pledges under the Copenhagen Accord to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Commitments have also been made by the G-20 and APEC to phase out inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies. How far can these actions take us on the path toward a secure, reliable and environmentally sustainable energy system?
The CSIS Energy and National Security Program is pleased to host the International Energy Agency (IEA) to present the World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2010. The annual report provides updated projections of energy demand, production, trade and investment, fuel by fuel and region by region to 2035 and, for the first time, a scenario that anticipates future actions by governments to meet the commitments they have made to tackle climate change and growing energy insecurity. WEO-2010 analyzes:

* what more must be done and spent to achieve the goal of the Copenhagen Accord to limit the global temperature increase to 2°C and how these actions would impact on oil markets;
* how emerging economies – led by China and India – will increasingly shape the global energy landscape;
* what role renewables can play in a clean and secure energy future;
* what removing fossil-fuel subsidies would mean for energy markets, climate change and state budgets;
* the trends in Caspian energy markets and the implications for global energy supply;
* the prospects for unconventional oil; and
* how to give the entire global population access to modern fuels.

This session will be on the record.
