Bard Center for Environmental Policy presents
National Climate Seminar: How Solar Inspires Business
Elysa Hammond | VP for Environmental Stewardship | Clif Bar
Wednesday, October 16, 2019
The 2030 date to achieve the Paris Climate Accords is forcing all of us to rethink “Business as Usual.” Join Elysa Hammond on Bard’s National Climate Seminar for a conversation about how ecological thinking has shaped Clif Bar’s journey as a company, and how in the coming decade, Clif Bar sees its business success coming from solar inspiration.
This webinar is part of a yearlong project, Solve Climate by 2030, sponsored by The Bard Center for Environmental Policy. The project takes as its starting point a recent IPCC report that we have only 10 years to forestall catastrophic climate change. Combining a national speaker network with a call for One-Night Teach-ins, the project culminates on April 7, 2020, in a national Power Dialog: 52 simultaneous, university-hosted webinars, one in every state, DC, and Puerto Rico. In these webinars, local climate solutions experts will suggest the top three ambitious but feasible state, urban, utility, or business initiatives that need to occur in Tennessee and Idaho, Missouri and New Jersey, Florida and Minnesota, if we aim to forestall catastrophic climate change. Following these state webinars, classes and other groups tuning in will have 45 minutes for “solutions sprints” designed to identify civic action opportunities for participants.
