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.
