About this event
If you’re starting the year thinking seriously about your climate career, this is the room you want to be in. Climatebase Live: New Year, New Climate Career is an in-person gathering built for people who want real conversations, useful connections, and a clearer sense of how to take the next step in climate. Whether you’re exploring your first move into the space, looking to grow your network, or hoping to meet others who care about building climate solutions, this event offers a practical way to begin the year with momentum. It’s social, community-driven, and designed to help you leave with more clarity than you arrived with. About the Event This event brings together people interested in climate work for an evening of connection, conversation, and career-focused community. Rather than sitting through a heavily scripted program, you can expect a format that creates room for meeting people, exchanging ideas, and hearing how others are navigating their own paths into climate. Climate careers can feel broad, exciting, and sometimes hard to decode. There are many ways to contribute, many different backgrounds that can be valuable, and many questions about where to start. This meetup creates a setting where those questions can be discussed openly with others who are also thinking seriously about climate work. Because it’s in person, the experience is built around human connection. You’ll have the chance to meet people face to face, make a stronger impression than you might online, and have the kind of conversations that can lead to follow-up coffee chats, introductions, and new opportunities. At its core, this is a community event for people who want to align their work with climate impact. It’s just as much about finding your people as it is about finding your next role. What to Expect Expect an evening that balances career conversation with relaxed networking. The tone is social and approachable, with enough structure to make it easy to start talking to people, even if you don’t know anyone when you arrive. You may spend the evening: Meeting others who are exploring or already building careers in climate Talking through career transitions, job-search questions, and different paths into the sector Sharing your background and hearing how others are applying their skills to climate work Building relationships with people who can broaden your understanding of the field Learning from informal peer conversations in a setting that feels more personal than a webinar or online forum This is the kind of event where short conversations can quickly become useful ones. Someone you meet may introduce you to a part of the climate ecosystem you hadn’t considered, help you frame your experience more clearly, or simply make the field feel more accessible. If you’re unsure how to “network,” this is a good place to practice. The shared interest in climate gives everyone common ground, which makes it easier to start with genuine questions and move into meaningful discussion. Why Attend A new year is a natural moment to reassess where your work is headed. If climate has been on your mind, this event gives you a concrete way to turn that interest into action. Instead of researching alone, you’ll be in a room with people who are asking similar questions and, in many cases, already finding answers. Attending can help you: Get clearer on what a climate career could look like for you Expand your network with people who share your values and interests Discover paths into climate that match your existing skills and experience Gain confidence by talking through ideas, questions, and next steps out loud Start the year with accountability, energy, and a stronger sense of direction There is also value in simply being around people who care about the same problems you do. Climate work can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to figure it out by yourself. Being part of a live community changes that. It reminds you that this space is full of people actively building, learning, hiring, collaborating, and helping one another move forward. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to engage more seriously with climate, this event is a strong starting point. You do not need to have everything figured out to benefit from being there. Practical Details Location: In person Date: Thursday, January 19 Time: 7:00 PM GMT+2 Because this is an in-person meetup, plan to arrive ready to introduce yourself, have conversations, and stay present. You do not need a perfectly polished story about your career; a clear sense of your interests, background, or questions is more than enough to get value from the evening. A few simple ways to prepare: Think about what draws you to climate work right now Be ready to describe your current role, background, or goals in a few sentences Consider the kinds of people you’d most like to meet Come with one or two specific questions about climate careers, transitions, or opportunities This event is especially well suited to people who learn best through conversation and community. If you want to start the year by connecting with others who care about climate and careers in the same breath, this is a smart place to show up.
