Dear Colleagues,

With the election season upon us, I will again be out speaking on college campuses as part of the Politics and Environment Education Project.

Please let me know if you would be interested in me giving a non-partisan presentation this fall on the history of US environmental politics: How we moved from an era of bipartisan compromise and global policy leadership, to an era of partisan gridlock, and what the future might hold.  The talk is titled: "Republicans, Democrats and Sustainability:  Recovering Bipartisan Environmental Politics", and there is an on-line version here. 

The talk can be a public lecture, a brown bag, or for a class, and there is no cost for the presentation.

While on campus, I also typically give a career talk to junior/senior environmental studies classes: "How to Get a Job Saving the Planet: Sustainability Leadership Careers in NGO's, Business and Policy". The talk covers many of the topics in this article.

Politics and Environment has a list of thirty additional speakers also able to give a similar non-partisan talk on environmental politics, at no charge, in states across the country. Please contact me if you would like to get in touch with one of these speakers, sign up to be a speaker yourself, or just want more information. 

The Bard Center for Environmental Policy is also focusing our fall webinar series on the general topic of Politics and the Environment:

It is going to be a momentous fall, and our students will be eager for some historical perspective. Thanks for the work you are doing,

Eban
