Whois & Analysis for iea.org

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organization established in the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co.operation and Development (OECD) in 1974 in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis.

The IEA was initially dedicated to responding to physical disruptions in the supply of oil, as well as serving as an information source on statistics about the international oil market and other energy sectors.

Sustainable energy is energy that is consumed at insignificant rates compared to its supply and with manageable collateral effects, especially environmental effects.

Another common definition of sustainable energy is an energy system that serves the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

The organizing principle for sustainability is sustainable development, which includes the four interconnected domains: ecology, economics, politics and culture.

Sustainability science is the study of sustainable development and environmental science.

An autonomous administrative division (also referred to as an autonomous area, entity, unit, region, subdivision, or territory) is a subdivision or dependent territory of a country that has a degree of self-governance, or autonomy, from an external authority.

Typically, it is either geographically distinct from the rest of the country or populated by a national minority.

Decentralization of self-governing powers and functions to such divisions is a way for a national government to try to increase democratic participation or administrative efficiency and/or to defuse internal conflicts.

Countries that include autonomous areas may be federacies, federations, or confederations.

Autonomous areas can be divided into territorial autonomies, subregional territorial autonomies, and local autonomies.
