Member countries
The IEA is made up of 29 member countries. Before becoming a member country of the IEA, a candidate country must fulfil certain requirements, and the final decision rests with the Governing Board.
Non-member countries
Growing economic interdependence and increasingly global energy market and environmental issues make IEA relations with non-member countries especially important.
FAQs on IEA membership
To be a member country of the IEA, a country must be a member country of the OECD. However, membership in the OECD does not automatically result in membership in the IEA.
Events
Senior staff from the IEA participate in energy-related events all over the world, such as the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
