Today, the Weltenergierat has around 80 national committees that represent about 90% of global energy production[1][3].

The main mission of the Weltenergierat is to "promote the sustainable supply and use of energy for the greatest benefit of all people"[1]. This mission reflects the commitment to a global and long-term perspective on energy issues and emphasizes the importance of sustainability and the common good.
