The IAEA's World Fusion Outlook aims to be a global reference for authoritative information and updates on fusion energy - a potentially unlimited, clean energy source that can contribute to the diversification of energy generation in the long term.

The IAEA has been promoting fusion energy research and development for almost 70 years and continues to strongly support progress towards its future deployment by bringing the fusion community together to advance scientific and technological capabilities.

This fourth edition presents a selection of recent achievements in fusion energy, outlines fusion plant concepts currently at various stages of development worldwide and examines the expanding global ecosystem supporting fusion and shaping the path towards commercialization, including public and private investment, national initiatives, industrial and supply chain developments, and international cooperation.

It also provides an outlook on the conditions under which fusion energy could play a meaningful role in future energy systems.

As a special focus topic, this edition explores the data foundations needed to accelerate fusion energy development using artificial intelligence.

Topics: IAEA, Fusion
