Minister offers his reflections on the Energy White Paper and the build-up to COP26 in interview to signal the launch of the WEF’s ambitious 2021 workstream.
In a new interview with the WEF the Energy Minister looks forward to “a year of delivery” in 2021, following the publication of the Energy White Paper. The Rt. Hon. Kwasi Kwarteng MP, UK Minister of State for Business, Energy & Clean Growth, was interviewed by Chris Lambert, Director of the WEF to explain some of the Ministerial thinking behind the White Paper and provide further background on the Government’s strategy for reaching net zero by 2050.
The WEF's 2021 Programme through to the COP26 Summit in November 2021 and beyond provides a comprehensive briefing series for senior stakeholders in the energy, climate and sustainability domains which considers both the emerging issues affecting the UK’s long term Net Zero strategy and the international contexts shaping them. For the 2021 Season - our 18th year of operations - we are pleased to offer to offer an enhanced and comprehensive programme in the run up to COP26 that is fully accessible to both our Members and to our established Knowledge Transfer Network of policymakers, regulators and NGOs. New participants from the corporate sector are welcome.
