Welcome to the inaugural Global Communications Alliance (GCA) State of World Energy Report.
The GCA is a diverse network of agencies, spanning seven continents and consisting of 17 members. We are united by shared values and communications services, but also by one sector more than any other – energy.
Energy means different things to different people. Warmth, power, security, climate change, innovation, decarbonisation, industrial renewal and the cost of living are all key concepts that are associated with a sector that is undergoing rapid change, and finds itself increasingly in the headlines around the world.
In this report, the GCA’s expert energy communications consultants across the globe assess the lay of the land in their nation, covering the overall context as well as the key issues of the moment. In so doing, they reveal many commonalities – energy security, grid reform and maintaining consumer confidence in the energy transition are key topics throughout the world in 2024 – but there are also significant regional variations.
In the face of such complexity, change and scrutiny, organisations in the sector require expert partners to help navigate the political and media pitfalls associated with building and operating energy assets.
These expert partners are the authors of these pages, and we hope you will enjoy reading this report.
