Venture Climate Alliance’s Post

Last month, Patrick Elftmann and I had the honor of co-hosting Super Climate New York at McKinsey HQ. The event was filled with optimism, meaningful discussions, and innovative ideas to accelerate the energy transition ⚡. 📍 Our Key Highlights: 🌱 We engaged with renowned activists, thinkers, politicians, and business leaders to discuss how we can fast-track progress toward the UN SDGs. 🌍 Across numerous events in NYC, we felt the great momentum for change and took part in critical discussions on how to make a difference and save our planet. These events included: Climate Solutions & Net Zero Transition, co-hosted by HSBC & Venture Climate Alliance; The Sword of Damocles: US Presidential Politics & Climate Tech, hosted by Overture Climate VC and the Climate Capital Summit, hosted by Equal Ventures. 👉🏻This year's gathering was notable for its diverse representation across various sectors of the climate action landscape. While the event has traditionally attracted finance professionals due to its proximity to Wall Street, there was a marked increase in attendance from private equity, infrastructure, and banking sectors. This broader participation reflects the growing recognition of climate issues across multiple industries and investment categories. 🚀 This year’s Climate Week saw an unprecedented turnout, with over 100,000 participants and 900 events, covering everything from financial strategies and policy debates to environmental justice and technological innovation. The event showcased the integration of climate considerations into mainstream business and policy decisions, making Climate Week a key platform for dialogue and collaboration. We are looking forward to more exciting events ahead! #ClimateWeekNYC  #EnergyTransition #Sustainability
