About IISD Energy
IISD Energy is a team of over 30 experts based in the IISD Geneva and Ottawa offices as well as a network of associates and consultants based remotely in India, Indonesia, South Africa, and other countries. We deliver cutting-edge research and practical policy support for energy and climate policy reforms in developed and developing countries, including the reform of fossil fuel subsidies and just transition. Since 2005, IISD Energy and its Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI, https://www.iisd.org/gsi/) have been working alongside many country partners, governments, and intergovernmental organizations to raise awareness and ambition on the need to phase out harmful energy subsidies and redirect public spending toward renewable energy and social needs, including through just transition. We work closely with groups such as the Friends of Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Energy Agency (IEA), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the World Bank, as well as international and domestic non-governmental organization partners. Our approach is hands-on through country-level research and outreach as well as via international forums such as the G20, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
