Shape the Future of Energy: Exclusive Invitation
Dear Esteemed Colleague,
We are honoured to invite you to join our exclusive World Energy Council Executive Dialogue
for Senior Policymakers and Senior Government Officials, co-hosted by Maria van der
Hoeven, former Executive Director of the International Energy Agency and now Senior Advisor to
the Secretary General for Energy Literacy at the World Energy Council.
As discussed at the recent 26th World Energy Congress, a new era of energy transitions
requires innovative, transformative approaches in response to rapidly changing global dynamics.
We face unprecedented interconnections between energy systems, technology, and geopolitics,
which demand a reimagined approach to policy and leadership to navigate complex trade-offs
and deliver energy resilience and justice. The reality: What got us here won’t get us to where
we need to go.
The Call to Reorganise for Transformation
Today’s challenges call for rethinking the very structures and strategies that have traditionally
guided energy policy. Moving beyond top-down, supply-side, and technology-centric approaches,
true transformation requires the active involvement of people at every level.
To achieve deeper decarbonization with justice and resilience, as highlighted in the recently
released World Energy Trilemma 2024 report, all energy levers will be needed—financial,
technological, and societal. Scaling the push of technology and financial innovation depends
on managing complex, interconnected coordination challenges, and our success hinges on
aligning these with the pull of societal transformation.
A New Leadership Mindset for Radical Change
In this dialogue, titled "Evolving with Resilience and Justice," Maria van der Hoeven will lead
us in exploring how this multidimensional leadership mindset leverages collaboration, policy
innovation, and bold decision-making to propel systemic transformation. This session will foster
2
discussions on adopting radical approaches, learning from diverse geographies, and
encouraging synergies that align justice, equity, and resilience in energy systems.
We look forward to your insights on how policymakers can drive this vital shift, bringing about a
more adaptive and sustainable energy future for all. Don't miss this opportunity to engage in
peer-to-peer discussions and gain actionable insights from leading voices in energy transitions.
Details for registration and participation are included below:
• Session 1: Tuesday 3 December at 8 am UK | Register - HERE
• Session 2: Thursday 5 December at 3 pm UK | Register- HERE
Spots are limited. To secure your place, please register at your earliest convenience. If you have

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to shaping a resilient future. We look forward to
welcoming you to this important conversation.
Warm regards,

leaders and practitioners. Through our Humanising Energy vision, we involve more people and
communities in accelerating clean and inclusive energy transitions in all world regions. Formed in
1923, the Council is an UN-accredited global energy body that has convened diverse interests
from across the full energy ecosystem for a century. Our global network draws from governments,
private and state corporations, academia and civil society, as well as current and future energy
leaders. We maintain a flexible Transition Leadership Toolkit to collaborate on impact
programmes and inform local, regional and global energy agendas in support of our enduring
mission: to promote the sustainable use and supply of energy for the benefit of all people.
