Many countries met in Montreal, Canada on June 29. They talked about saving energy. War in the Middle East made energy prices go up. Leaders agreed to help people use less energy. This saves money for families. Energy efficiency means using less power to do the same work. It protects people from high costs.
Governments want to help poor families and small businesses first. These groups suffer most when energy gets expensive. Countries promised to make new rules by 2030. The head of the IEA, Fatih Birol, said efficiency is powerful. Canadian ministers spoke about the benefits. The meeting was the 11th global conference on energy efficiency.
