About the ICSE
The International Council for Sustainable Energy (ICSE) is an alliance of the U.S. Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE), the Australian Clean Energy Council (CEC), and the European Business Council for Sustainable Energy (e5). These organizations have been partners since 1992, and the alliance was launched in December 2007 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia.
ICSE represents more than 1,000 companies with a commercial interest in the clean energy transition. These companies are deploying technology solutions and investing in the energy transition, both at home and abroad, to address climate change, provide energy security and ensure access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy. ICSE members come together at forums such as the annual United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to bring business voices to the international conversation on climate action.
