About Event

Join us for an enlightening discussion as we delve into the turbulence that rocked the climate job market in 2023 and anticipate what lies ahead in 2024.

Our panelists, Emet Zeitz from Net Zero Insights, Steven Zhang of ClimateTechList, and Pilar Carvajo Lucena from Third Derivative, will provide a multifaceted approach to our discussion, offering invaluable insights from the vantage points of investment, start-up analysis, and career trajectories.

In 2023, the climate industry faced significant challenges. Layoffs, funding freezes, and economic uncertainties created a tough landscape for both companies and job seekers. As a climate recruitment agency, we at Climate People witnessed these impacts firsthand. The year saw increased layoffs across various industries, leading to a surge in applications but limited opportunities. Funding freezes led to stunted company growth plans and headcount reductions. Economic uncertainties triggered a decline in VC funding and an overall fiscal slowdown, frustrating those eager to contribute to the fight against climate change.

As we step into 2024, many are unsure about what to expect. By analyzing trends and funding allocation, we aim to demystify the events of 2023 and provide a forecast for the path ahead. We'll draw upon reports from Net Zero Insights, Alder and Co’s “State of Climate Tech 2023,” Third Derivative's accelerator companies' insights/recaps, and ClimateTechList's data analysis based on 80,000 job listings to provide a comprehensive outlook.

What You Can Expect to Gain From This Event:

  • A deeper understanding of the funding landscape in 2023 and the reasons behind the slowdown.

  • Trend analysis to predict what to expect in 2024.

  • Valuable insights to help you make informed decisions in your job search or hiring processes.
