The WEF's Objectives:

The purpose of the Westminster Energy Forum (WEF) is to deliver:

‘A Senior Leadership Network & Knowledge Exchange Programme for the Strategic Evaluation of Energy Transitions, Climate Change and (Geo)Political Risk.’

Founded and led by Chris Lambert since 2004, the WEF functions as a small, independent and collaborative think tank, delivering nine meetings during the political year. Its primary objectives are to:

• Convene expert practitioners in the fields of climate risk and energy transition.
   
• Share strategic information on the challenges and opportunities of decarbonisation policy, investment and innovation.
   
• Inform political and corporate decisions in support of Net Zero goals and ambition.
