The lost volume represents approximately 13.5% of the global average consumption estimated for this year.
The IEA is undertaking diplomatic efforts to encourage other producers to increase their output.
Measures to reduce consumption, such as boosting public transport, lowering speed limits, and facilitating remote work, are being recommended.
The IEA warns that delayed reactions will lead to more drastic and painful measures.
