This document presents some metrics which the IEA believes are important in tracking energy sector decarbonisation to achieve both short- and long-term climate goals, recognizing that tracking GHG targets alone cannot reveal whether change is occurring rapidly enough in underlying energy infrastructure. It describes how an even wider suite of energy metrics should be used to inform the international climate policy process and the development of national action plans. These include tracking renewable energy deployment, energy efficiency improvements and low-carbon investments.
