Westminster Energy Forum Mission Image


The WEF's Objectives:

The purpose of the WEF is to provide a Senior UK Leadership Network & Knowledge Exchange Programme for the strategic evaluation of climate and energy transition risks.

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.
