Clean Energy Ministerial

The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) is a high-level global forum set up to promote policies, programmes and knowledge transfer to advance clean energy technology and encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy. According to the CEM’s institutional framework, adopted in 2016, the organization orients its actions around the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The forum encourages partnerships and collaboration between the private sector, public sector, and non-governmental organizations, and convenes individuals and energy organisations to collaborate and fast-track the implementation of clean energy technologies. Globally, CEM member governments account for 90% of clean power and 80% of clean energy investments, and large proportion of public R&D in clean energy technologies.

The forum operates through two interrelated features

The CEM work programme spans the clean energy spectrum (power, transport, buildings, industry, and creating an enabling policy environment), with topics ranging from scaling up of electric mobility to appliance efficiency, and variable renewable integration to clean hydrogen deployment. Member participation in these initiatives and campaigns is voluntary and collaborative.

As of 2023, CEM members include Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States.

CEM engagement is coordinated by an independent multilateral Secretariat housed at the International Energy Agency in Paris since 2016.

The CEM is a partnership of the world's leading economies working together to accelerate the implementation of clean energy technologies. It supports a broad range of clean energy policy and technology activities that together improve energy efficiency, expand clean energy supply, support energy systems transformation, and enhance human capacity. The CEM pairs political engagement among energy ministers at an annual Ministerial meeting with year-round technical initiatives and campaigns.

The annual Ministerial meetings are hosted by one or more CEM members, with the hosting role rotating annually among the members based on voluntary expressions of interest. Members volunteering to host a Ministerial meeting also host a Preparatory Meeting for the preceding Ministerial Meeting. The meetings are thereafter organised by the host in coordination with the CEM's Steering Committee and Secretariat in alignment with the objectives of the CEM.
