Climate Week NYC is one of the largest annual climate events of its kind. It brings together leaders and stakeholders from throughout the international community to discuss the most pressing issues related to climate change and accelerating the energy transition. On the heels of the first-ever Global Renewables Summit, please join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA’s Women in Energy (WIE) initiative and the Global Renewables Alliance for a Careers in Renewable Energy Networking Reception to facilitate connections between organizations working at the nexus of these issues who are looking to connect with talented individuals that are passionate about pursuing or advancing their careers in renewable energy.

The event program includes both informal and structured networking sessions, as well as a fireside chat with a renewable energy-industry human resources expert discussing the renewable energy hiring landscape globally and best practices for early and mid career professionals interested in pursuing opportunities or building a career in the sector.

The WIE initiative envisions a world with equal gender representation at every level within the energy sector. Our mission is to elevate women and enhance inclusion within the energy workforce by developing and sharing research, expanding entry into the sector, and supporting professionals.

To expand entry into the sector, WIE hosts events to provide opportunities to connect energy organizations recruiting new talent with those interested in pursuing a career. Our events also feature women who have thrived in specific energy sub-sectors sharing their experiences and career journeys.
