6th IEF-EU Energy and Climate Day

The 6th IEF-EU Energy and Climate Day, an exclusive high-level event co-hosted by the International Energy Forum (IEF) and the European Union, in partnership with the EU-GCC Cooperation on Green Transition Project. The event will take place on 28 May 2025 at the IEF Headquarters in the Diplomatic Quarter, Riyadh.

This strategic dialogue will bring together leading policymakers, energy experts, and industry leaders from the European Union and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region to explore joint pathways towards an affordable, secure, and sustainable energy future.

Building on past successes, this edition will explore key topics such as green hydrogen, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and decarbonization. By fostering dialogue and collaboration, the event aims to accelerate green investment, enhance policy alignment, and strengthen EU-GCC partnerships.

Participants will engage in two roundtable sessions exploring key drivers of the sustainable energy transition. The first session, Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for a Sustainable Energy Transition, will examine how effective policy design and regulatory measures can enable and accelerate the shift to cleaner energy systems. Discussions will focus on creating stable investment environments, promoting innovation, and strengthening collaboration between the EU and GCC regions.

The second session, Unlocking Private Sector Opportunities for Green Energy Investment and Innovation, will highlight the critical role of industry and finance leaders in advancing the energy transition. Participants will discuss investment strategies, technology advancements, and cross-regional partnerships, with a particular focus on scaling up clean energy projects, enhancing supply chain resilience, and developing effective financing mechanisms to drive sustainable solutions.
