Bard Center for Environmental Policy presents
National Climate Seminar: Renewables, Efficiency and Carbon Pricing
Rachel Cleetus, Lead Economist and Climate Policy Manager, Union of Concerned Scientists
Wednesday, March 2, 2016
On March 2nd, we will be speaking with Rachel Cleetus, Lead Economist, Union of Concerned Scientists about Renewables, Efficiency and Carbon Pricing. Rachel designs and advocates for effective global warming policies at the federal, regional, state, and international levels. These policies include market-based approaches (such as cap-and-trade programs) and complementary, sector-based approaches (such as efficiency, renewable energy, and clean technology research and development). She also analyzes the economic costs of inaction on climate change.
"Our energy policy needs to integrate climate, public health, and development goals, i.e. the imperative to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy with clean energy access for all." Rachel Cleetus, UCS
