The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) of Korea is launching the 16th Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) and 10th Mission Innovation (MI) high-level working meetings through April 9–11 in Seoul with the participation of roughly 280 attendees from 24 member economies’ governments and international organizations.
During the meetings, public and private experts shared trends on clean energy distribution, technological innovations, and policies for expediting clean energy transitions in line with global energy and climate goals. They also discussed joint measures across specific areas as well as preparation for the CEM and MI ministerial conferences slated for August 2025.
As the chair of this year’s CEM and MI ministerial meetings, Korea proposed that key agendas include the expansion of clean power, catalyzing the utilization of hydrogen as a future fuel, artificial intelligence (AI), and energy innovation. With clean power, hydrogen, and AI technology being major elements to consider in climate crisis response, clean energy distribution, and energy security, it is anticipated that participants will actively seek joint measures for related support policies and technological innovations.
The CEM and MI ministerial conferences will convene in Busan later this year from August 26–27 alongside the APEC energy ministerial meeting (Aug. 27–28) and the World Climate Industry EXPO (Aug. 27–29), raising expectations for extensive exchanges on measures for sustainable growth and cooperation among energy leaders of over 40 countries.
