2025 PRESIDENT'S AWARD RECIPIENT AND DINNER SPEAKER: SECRETARY JOHN KERRY
'I am honored to receive the Energy Institute President’s Award, but view it as shared also by the innovators, entrepreneurs, activists, engineers, and workers that collectively are driving forward the clean energy transition and creating a safer, more prosperous planet. I am more convinced than ever before that embracing modern, abundant clean energy solutions is not just the right thing to do – it’s also good business and sound economics. Those that embrace this opportunity will find themselves in the drivers’ seat of the rest of the 21st century.’
Secretary John Kerry, the former United States Senator, Secretary of State, and the first Special Presidential Envoy for Climate spoke as guest of honour at the International Energy Week Awards Dinner on 27 February 2025 at the QEII Centre in London.

EI President Andy Brown OBE FEI said:
‘Secretary John Kerry is a figure of great conviction and tremendous effect. As Secretary of State during the Obama administration and the first ever Special Presidential Envoy for Climate under President Biden, he has been instrumental at every key moment in the recent history of global climate diplomacy.
From brokering the historic Paris Climate Accord in 2015 through to the agreement at COP28 to transition away from fossil fuels, Secretary Kerry has been pivotal, building trust and common ground across national boundaries - not least with China to bring about action from the planet’s two largest emitters. His work to help developing nations face the challenges of climate change by mobilising climate finance has also been exemplary.
The President’s Award is the Energy Institute’s highest accolade. We are honoured that Secretary Kerry will join us in London to share his insights at International Energy Week, as our President’s Award recipient 2025.’
