10、are having to consider and adopt new approaches to balance the interconnected goals of sustainability,affordability,competitiveness and security.Against this backdrop,the IEA has produced its inaugural edition of State of Energy Policy.Intended as a first-of-its-kind global inventory,this annual pub
11、lication provides users with the most comprehensive up-to-date energy policies by countries and sectors,highlighting the most substantial changes in the preceding 12 months.It draws upon the expertise,insights,and review of numerous international experts,to compile more than 5 000 policy records acr

14、tted to clean energy in response to the 2007-08 financial crisis.Some 80%of this earmarked funding is concentrated in just three regions:China,the European Union and the United States.Many measures are framed as efforts to boost clean technology deployment and to secure positions in emerging industr
15、ies that promise to be major future sources of growth and State of Energy Policy 2024 PAGE|3 Key findings IEA.CC BY 4.0.employment.New spending measures continue to be approved.In the first half of 2024 alone,more than 40 countries earmarked clean energy support,totalling to USD 290 billion.Governme
16、nt interventions to manage energy prices peaked in 2022,but affordability remains a key concern.Price spikes prompted by Russias invasion of Ukraine pushed total end-use expenditure on energy to a record high in 2022 USD 10 trillion.Short-term consumer support directly from governments totalled USD
17、940 billion,mainly concentrated in Europe,while other pricing regulations instituted by governments amounted to USD 2.4 trillion worth of fossil fuel subsidies accruing since 2022.Prices have since declined and government have rolled back most emergency provisions.Still,all G20 countries maintain pr

19、ins has become a key priority,prompting use of diverse policy measures from direct incentives to trade policy.Geographical concentrations within clean energy supply chains remains higher than fossil fuel supply.Across key technologies solar PV,wind,battery,and electrolyser at least 80%of manufacturi
20、ng capacity is concentrated within the top three producing countries.This renders global supply chains vulnerable to disruptions,whether due to policy changes in individual countries,natural disasters,technical failures or corporate decisions.Recent policies and strategies have designated key clean
21、energy technologies and related commodities to be of strategic importance,proposing requirements or targets for minimum shares of domestic manufacturing.Recent notable examples the United States Defence Production Act and the European Unions Net Zero Industry Act,however other countries have introdu

23、ves is going to electric vehicles(EVs),followed by hydrogen and batteries production,along with critical minerals refining and production.Since 2020,around 70%of this earmarked support was concentrated in advanced economies and China,although new spending is being mobilised in other emerging manufac
24、turing hubs,such as Brazil,India and Malaysia.Since 2020,sharp rise is evident in trade measures relating to clean technology supply chains.Over the past 25 years,the number of new trade measures targeting batteries,solar PV,EVs,wind turbines and electrolysers has increased steadily.Since 2020,count
25、ries implemented nearly 200 trade policies targeting clean energy technology,whereas only 40 such initiatives were implemented in the preceding 5 years.Often,the largest importers and exporters of these technologies are at the forefront of these changes in trade rules,which may well have implication

27、 for close to 40%of policy changes since 2020.In that same period,around 50 new free trade agreements were signed,of which nearly 90%still extended preferential tariffs to clean energy technologies.Energy performance regulations now cover three-quarters of global energy-related emissions.As of 2024,
28、fifteen G20 countries have energy performance regulations in place covering each key energy sector power,industry,buildings transportation,and fuel supply.This is a substantial change from just a few decades ago.In 2000,only 5%of industrial motors were covered by energy performance standards;now ove

30、el-economy and emissions standards for passenger cars and trucks,as well as new regulations for GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants in the United States.Several major firsts also warrant mention:Australia added its very first fuel efficiency standard for vehicles,the European Union int
31、roduced regulations on climate-forcing refrigerants used in appliances(so-called fluorinated greenhouse gases F-gas regulations);and Ukraine established its first-ever biofuel blending mandate,set to start in 2025.Some policies were rolled back since 2020,but their impact was smaller than the increa
32、sed stringency elsewhere.Notable rollbacks or delays were applied to proposed regulations banning the sale of new fossil fuel boilers in buildings and of internal combustion engines(ICE)vehicles,and on phase-out of unabated coal.Such adjustments were largely motivated by the energy crisis and public
33、 concerns.The replacement regulations either delayed the start date for compliance or relaxed the proposed policy stringency.Regulations that were rollbacked and delayed policies in 2023 covered around 1%of current global emissions.Still,substantial leeway exists to advance coverage,stringency and e
34、nforcement of these policies.Around one-quarter of global energy growth to 2030 is projected to occur in unregulated sectors,and in most countries,the least efficient appliances legally sold are at least 40%less efficient than the“best-in-class”equivalent in that region.Additionally,rising policy co
35、verage does not necessarily imply near-term impact.Some policies naturally come with some time-lag most fuel economy standards are updated every 4 5 years and aim to give industry a 10 15-year time horizon to comply but a lack of enforcement of these standards can also diminish their impact.For inst
