Dar es Salaam. As global leaders prepare to intensify climate negotiations at COP30, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has released its World Energy Outlook 2025 (WEO 2025), warning that the world’s continued reliance on fossil fuels is not only economically short-sighted but also deepening the climate crisis, escalating loss and damage already devastating vulnerable nations.
Despite political pressure from fossil fuel interests, the IEA’s latest findings leave little room for doubt: the energy transition is both unstoppable and essential to limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
