Join industry leaders, innovators, employers, and emerging talent for an evening exploring the technologies, trends, and career opportunities shaping the future of climate tech. As part of New York Climate Week, the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA’s Women in Energy initiative and Pillsbury are bringing together leaders from across industry to discuss the innovations transforming how we power, build, and sustain our world.
The evening will feature two engaging panel discussions.

The second panel will focus on careers in climate tech, highlighting workforce trends, the skills organizations are seeking, and practical pathways for students and professionals looking to enter or advance in the field.
Attendees will hear from leaders representing law, technology, manufacturing, clean energy, entrepreneurship, and international policy while connecting with professionals from across the climate ecosystem.
