Follow the Capital: Investment and Careers in Climate

Past Event

September 22, 2025

3:00 pm - 6:00 pm est

This event is at capacity, registration is closed.

In the wake of federal rollbacks, climate professionals are increasingly turning to state and local governments, philanthropy, and the private sector to sustain the progress made. But where exactly is the money flowing—and what does that mean for your career?

The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA’s Women in Energy initiative and Pillsbury invite you to join us for Follow the Capital: Investment and Careers in Climate, a timely conversation and networking event that explores the evolving climate funding landscape—and how to navigate it.

This event will focus on two key questions:

1.     Where is climate capital moving under the new administration?

2.     How are those shifts shaping hiring and talent demands across sectors?

Hear from leaders tracking the flow of climate capital—from venture investments to government grants—and learn how these trends are influencing not only what gets funded, but who gets hired. Whether you’re seeking your next job, making investment decisions, or simply trying to stay ahead of the curve, this event will provide actionable insights, meaningful connections, and a sharper understanding of where opportunities are headed in the climate space.

Speakers include:

  • Kenan Arkan, Managing Director in Commodities Origination, J.P. Morgan
  • Manjot K. Bhatti, Senior Associate, BlackRock
  • Jason Bordoff, Founding Director, Center on Global Energy Policy
  • Amy Chiang, Chief Sustainability & External Affairs Officer, Topsoe
