2. Key Outlook and Comparative Analysis Findings: Presentation of the key findings of the IEA, OPEC and EIA Outlooks, and the IEF Comparative Analysis Findings.
3. Trade and Investment in Energy Security, Market Stability, and Affordable Access: Panelists views on key trends and discussion on how governments and industry can manage excessive volatility and restore market stability and affordability.
4. Policy and Energy Market Incentives to Reach Shared Goals: Panelists views and discussion on cohesive policy approaches to leverage markets and accelerate orderly and equitable transitions.

The annual IEA-IEF-OPEC Symposium on Energy Outlooks is part of a wider joint program of work agreed upon by the three organizations and endorsed by Energy Ministers at the 12th International Energy Forum (Cancún, March 2010) as part of the Cancún Declaration.
