About the International Energy Forum

The International Energy Forum (IEF) stands as the world’s largest organisation of energy ministers, representing 72 countries that include both energy producers and consumers.

Its biennial Ministerial Meetings are unparalleled in scale, bringing together the largest gathering of Energy Ministers globally.

The IEF’s mandate is comprehensive, encompassing a wide range of energy-related issues.

These include:

  • Oil and gas
  • Clean and renewable energy
  • Sustainability
  • Energy transitions
  • New technologies
  • Data transparency
  • Energy poverty

Founded three decades ago, the IEF was initially established to facilitate dialogue between OPEC and IEA member countries.

Today, it has expanded significantly, boasting more member countries than OPEC and IEA combined, with representation from all global regions. The IEF’s membership is notable for including several major non-aligned nations, such as China, Russia, India, South Africa and Argentina.
