About this event
MCJ LIVE Podcast with Tom Steyer during New York Climate Week brings one of the most active weeks in climate into a focused, in-person conversation you can actually learn from. If you want more than broad optimism and vague talking points, this is a chance to hear a live discussion at the intersection of climate, business, policy, and action—then be in the room with other people who are paying close attention to where the space is headed. Climate Week can be crowded, fast-moving, and noisy. This event offers something more useful: a clear format, a known host platform, and a timely live podcast conversation with Tom Steyer in New York, surrounded by a community of people who care enough to show up in person. About the Event This is an in-person live podcast recording from MCJ taking place during New York Climate Week. The event centers on a conversation with Tom Steyer, giving attendees a front-row seat to a discussion that is likely to touch the issues shaping climate progress right now: investment, leadership, policy, markets, and the practical reality of building momentum. Because it is a live podcast format, the experience is different from a typical panel. You can expect a conversation designed to be sharp, paced, and accessible—something that goes beyond surface-level commentary and gets into how influential people think, decide, and act in climate. This event also sits squarely in the overlap of climate, community, and networking. That means it is not only about listening; it is also about being present with others during one of the most important climate gatherings of the year. For many attendees, the value will come from both the content on stage and the context around it: who is in the room, what conversations continue afterward, and what new perspective you leave with. What to Expect Expect a live, professionally hosted conversation rather than a formal conference program. The structure is likely to feel focused and direct, making it easier to absorb key ideas without needing to commit to a full-day event. You can reasonably plan for an experience that includes: Welcome and arrival time for attendees to check in and settle in person in New York A live MCJ podcast conversation featuring Tom Steyer Discussion shaped around the themes most relevant to Climate Week audiences, such as climate action, leadership, capital, and systems change Networking and informal connection with other attendees before or after the live session The audience dynamic matters here. At a Climate Week event, the room often includes a mix of operators, founders, investors, advocates, policy-minded professionals, and curious builders. That mix can make the conversation more grounded because people are listening with real stakes in the outcome—not as passive spectators, but as people trying to understand what matters now. The midday timing also makes this event especially practical. It can fit into a larger Climate Week schedule without taking over your entire day, which makes it useful whether this is your main event or one important stop in a packed week of meetings and sessions. Why Attend If you are selective about which Climate Week events deserve your time, this one offers a strong combination of signal, access, and efficiency. You get the depth of a live conversation, the credibility of a known podcast platform, and the energy of being in the room rather than hearing highlights later. There is also a real difference between consuming climate content online and experiencing it live. In person, you get tone, tension, nuance, and audience energy—the parts that often reveal what someone really thinks. That can be especially valuable in climate, where big ambitions meet hard tradeoffs. Attending can help you: Hear a live conversation with a prominent climate voice in a timely setting Better understand how leaders are thinking about climate action in the current moment Stay plugged into the New York Climate Week ecosystem without overcommitting to a sprawling schedule Meet other people who are serious about climate, whether from startups, finance, media, policy, or adjacent sectors Leave with sharper context for the conversations happening across the rest of the week For people building, investing, organizing, or simply trying to make sense of where climate goes next, the value is not abstract. It is practical: better context, stronger connections, and a clearer read on the people and ideas influencing the field.
