At the IEC, we have a vision of a clean energy future.
We can achieve it by leveraging IEC Standards and conformity assessment services towards helping make smarter grids, enable clean energy access, build climate-resilient infrastructure and reduce harmful impact on our environment.
Expanding renewable energy infrastructure, enhancing storage technologies, and developing more efficient grids will reduce carbon emissions and environmental impact.
Promoting energy-saving technologies, sustainable practices, and efficiency policies that support efficiency standards minimizes waste and optimizes resource use.
The IEC has published standards addressing material efficiency, recyclability and product life-times. Additionally, the IEC offers conformity assessment services for ecodesign, hazardous substance management and verification of carbon footprint claims, supporting the circular economy.
Energy systems designed to withstand disruptions while ensuring reliable access to clean energy.
Energy-efficient vehicles and infrastructure to reduce environmental impact and promote clean energy.
Advancing technologies to improve efficiency and reduce costs in clean energy systems.
Increasing the use of solar, wind, and other renewable sources.
Reducing waste by reusing, recycling and repurposing materials in energy production and consumption processes.
Implementing supportive policies for clean energy adoption.
Policymakers use IEC International Standards and conformity assessment to support their public policies and turn objectives into real actions.
Discover through these real-life case studies how these can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enable governments around the world combat climate change.
Follow the discussions at the COP summit, which brings parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The IEC offers a global institutional framework that allows for the cooperation of many thousand experts from more than 170 countries.
They share their know-how and expertise to build the technical foundation that allows governments to implement their climate policies and manufacturers to build consistently safe, sustainable and interoperable products and systems.
Promote sustainability, reduce waste and ensure the efficient use of resources in various industries
The Conference of the Parties (COP), is held annually, with the Presidency rotating between the five recognised UN regions.
This year, Brazil will have the honour of hosting the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30), which will take place in Belém, Pará. The chosen city will provide the world with a unique platform to discuss climate solutions, firmly rooted in the heart of the Amazon.
