The WEF's Objectives:
- Convene expert practitioners in climate risk and energy transition by invitation.
- 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 ambitions.
Operationally, the WEF functions like a small think tank delivering two complementary workstreams, to a network of 150 organisations in the UK and overseas. Established in 2004, the two WEF workstreams now comprise eight or more high level events by invitation per year:
> Climate Risk & Resilience Assessments
> Energy System Transition Assessments

Agenda:
Session One
International energy transition uncertainties, opportunities, and implications for the global carbon budget
Climate impact scenarios – potential security gamechangers, implications for energy geopolitics and the social licence
Delivering the Global Transition - evaluating recent regional trade and investment initiatives, and their implications for Net Zero delivery
Session Two
Delivering Resilience: industrial capabilities and requirements to meet a disorderly transition
Climate Science Global Update: potential inflection points to watch through to 2030
Labour Party Question Time’ Discussion on Political Strategy towards Climate Change and Net Zero
