Westminster Energy, Environment & Transport Forum
Forthcoming events
The Westminster Energy, Environment & Transport Forum aims to provide the premier environment for policy makers in Parliament, Whitehall and government agencies to engage with key stakeholders. These include energy and transport industry representatives and their advisors, environment professionals, interest groups, local authorities, interested charities, the voluntary sector and academia, along with members of the reporting press.
In planning its programme of events, the Forum consults parliamentarians, senior departmental officials, regulators, industry representatives and major interest groups.
The Westminster Energy, Environment & Transport Forum is completely impartial and has no policy agenda of its own. While we are grateful for the support and advice on themes that we receive from sponsors, all editorial decisions remain with the Forum in order to maintain impartiality.
