The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation which acts as energy policy advisor to 28 member countries to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for their citizens. Initially set up to co-ordinate measures in times of oil supply emergencies, the IEA's mandate has broadened to incorporate the “Three E’s” of balanced energy policy making: energy security, economic development and environmental protection.

What package of commitments and measures should the climate negotiators at Copenhagen put together if they really want to stop global temperatures rising? How much would it cost? And how much might the developed world have to pay to finance action elsewhere? How big is the gas resource base and what is the typical pattern of production from a gas field? What does the unconventional gas boom in the United States mean for the rest of the world? Are we headed for a global gas glut? What role will gas play in the future energy mix? And how might the way gas is priced change?
