Mr. Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director, International Energy Agency

IEA’s globally supported analysis of energy efficiency earned them a Star of EE Award in 2007. IEA’s G8 Gleneagles Programme focuses on climate change, clean energy, and sustainable development, providing a framework for action on energy efficiency at every level in countries around the world. In 2006 and 2007 alone, IEA presented a total of 16 recommendations, representing a potential 6,279 million metric tons of saved carbon dioxide per year, to the G8 Summit.
