About C2C

C2C Fellows is a network of young leaders whose vision is to develop clean energy solutions. Our mission is to accelerate their life’s work.

The C2C Fellows program is headed by Dr. Eban Goodstein, an economist, scholar and Director of the Bard Center for Environmental Policy, and Dean of the Bard MBA in Sustainability. From 2008-2010, Goodstein organized a series of national, one-day educational events on global warming solutions. The teach-in’s and dialogs were among the biggest in US history, together involving over 2500 colleges, universities, high schools and faith communities, and close to a million students.

Goodstein’s work is inspired by the work of the Highlander Center in Tennessee, originally located close to his hometown, and where his parents helped fight for civil rights. For eighty years, Highlander has been a training center for citizen educators and activists. During the 1950s, virtually every major civil rights activist, from Rosa Parks to Dr. King, attended Highlander workshops. They left with knowledge, skills, and above all, a reinforced sense of courage that changed the world.

Within the lifetime of a child now entering school, “business-as-usual” trajectories for global warming will likely force up average temperatures beyond 10 degrees F, impoverishing hundreds of millions, and driving more than half of the life on this planet onto an extinction path. Stabilizing the climate is a human necessity, a precondition for meeting the needs of nine billion people, all aspiring to better lives, within the boundaries of our one earth.

Stabilizing the climate is not the work of a year, of a presidential term, or of a decade. It is the work of a generation. C2C Fellows is designed to engage students and recent graduates who have leadership ambition, and provide them knowledge, skills, courage, and a powerful, ongoing network, to help lead a global revolution.
