National Climate Seminar: Seb Henbest on Politics Down Under

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

The National Climate Seminar hosts journalist Seb Hedbest, who will be discussing Australian carbon taxes. Recently, coal-dependent Australia became the second major economy outside of Europe to put a price on carbon. Hedbest will take us through the politics of this accomplishment.

The National Climate Seminar is a twice monthly national conference call with top climate scientists, policy-makers, analysts and communications experts. Join us at noon eastern. A great opportunity to engage your students in real-time dialog about climate solutions; you can use the calls as the basis for a brownbag, or assign them as homework. All calls are recorded and available as podcasts. For more information, contact us at [email protected].

Sponsored by The Bard Center for Environmental Policy and the Earth Institute.
