Date: 29 - 30 October 2025
Location: Bonn, Germany
Description: Initiated in 2018, IRENA’s Global Network of Long-Term Energy Scenarios (Global LTES Network) and Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) Initiative on LTES provides a global platform to exchange knowledge and good practices in the use and development of scenarios to guide the clean energy transition and promote wider and more effective use of LTES in government for energy and climate policymaking.
At the 6th edition of its annual flagship International Forum on Long-term Scenarios for the Clean Energy Transition, IRENA will once again bring together scenario practitioners in government, academia, technical institutions, international organizations, and the private sector. The 6th Forum will focus on the following Global Network on LTES Thematic Areas outlined in the May 2025- April 2026 Workplan:
- Institutional Coordination and Alignment: Integrating LTES frameworks with national strategies like climate plans, grid expansion, and socio-economic policies for coherent policy implementation.
- Investment Mobilization: Translating scenarios into actionable pipelines, de-risking projects, and engaging financial institutions to bridge planning-implementation gaps.
- Scenario Tools, Communication, and Stakeholder Engagement: Adopting open-source tools, transparent communication, and participatory processes to build trust, inclusivity, and in-house capacity.
- Resilient and Inclusive Scenario Content: Incorporating energy security, demand-side shifts (e.g., AI), and just transition elements to model robust, equitable pathways amid uncertainties.
The Forum will take place at the IRENA Innovation and Technology Centre in Bonn, Germany, on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th October 2025 in a hybrid format (on-site and virtual).
