Dr. Jim Barrett, Economist and Carbon Policy Expert
Chris Erickson, CEO and Founder of Climate Earth, Inc.



Background
Dr. Jim Barrett is an economist and carbon policy expert in Washington, D.C. Jim is a beltway insider. He studies policies and legislation on the horizon that are likely to affect your business—and our whole economy—in substantial ways. He also serves as Chairman of the Board of Redefining Progress, a public policy think-tank dedicated to promoting a strong economy, a healthy environment, and social justice.

Jim's topic, “An Insider's Business Guide to Emerging U.S. Climate Policies,” couldn't be more timely, as the EPA exerts new authority over greenhouse gas emissions, and a cap and trade bill is passing through Congress. Jim will explain why carbon will have a price, and he'll share his perspective on how this is likely to occur. Then, Chris Erickson, CEO of Climate Earth, will discuss how enterprise carbon accounting can help your organization prepare for the near certainty of regulatory changes on carbon emissions. Chris will offer five steps to prepare for carbon pricing, and explain why carbon accounting can be a centerpiece for bottom line benefit and competitive advantage.
