About Global Energy Monitor Global Energy Monitor (GEM) develops and shares information in support of the worldwide movement for clean energy. By studying the evolving international energy landscape and creating databases, reports, and interactive tools that enhance understanding, GEM seeks to build an open guide to the world’s energy system. GEM data serve as a vital international reference point being used by agencies including Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), International Energy Agency (IEA), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), U.S. Treasury Department, and the World Bank. Furthermore, industry data providers such as Bloomberg Terminals and the Economist, and academic institutions like University of Oxford and Harvard University draw on these data.
