Watch Bard's You-Tube Video from the National Teach-In Wedge Stabilization Workshop
Watch Bard's participation in the National Teach-In on Global Warming Solutions.
The National Teach-In on Global Warming Solutions is an initiative founded and directed by BCEP's incoming Director, Eban Goodstein. This year, Bard participated by hosting a Wedge Stabilization Workshop. The workshop was coordinated by Laurie Husted, the Environmental Resources Auditor at Bard, and was attended by Bard students, faculty, local leaders and community members.
The goal of the workshop was for each group (made up of students, faculty and local representatives) to come up with a carbon mitigation strategy to to reduce, or stabilize, our carbon emissions using 1B ton carbon reduction 'wedges.' Selected teams then presented their findings to the audience and were critiqued by our experts, shown below.

Meet Our Faculty
Gautam Sethi teaches environmental and natural resource economics at Bard CEP. His research includes institutional mechanisms to improve water quality in Oaxaca, Mexico, and the impact of wind farms on residential property values in the U.S.
“What I value most about Bard CEP is its ability to challenge and reshape one’s views. I am constantly challenged, by my colleagues and students, to think of the world in ways I had not hitherto, and I hope to have a similar effect on their worldview.”—Gautam Sethi, Associate Professor, Bard CEP
Monique Segarra, assistant professor of politics, teaches environmental policy analysis and climate politics. Her research focuses on the intersection of natural resource management, climate change, and human rights in the global south and the politics of water reform in Oaxaca, Mexico.
“Working with graduate students at CEP has enriched my work as a political scientist. The interdisciplinary nature of the program deepens our students’ ability to analyze and think about the policy process and how the key driver of our time, climate change and adaptation, is shaping our future policy choices.”
