Clean Air Cool Planet is helping college campuses become green. Their main focus is carbon calculations and reductions.
Don’t know if you know of any graduates or undergrads that are interested in climate change and carbon footprint reduction but Clean-Air Cool Planet is offering a $5K stipend. Take a look at this and forward to anyone you know that might be interested.

Special Edition: December 21, 2009 CA-CP Announces Climate Fellowship Opportunities for Summer 2010 The highly competitive Clean Air-Cool Planet Climate Fellowship
program pairs outstanding students with challenging real-world opportunities
to propel society toward a low-carbon future. Highly qualified graduate and
undergraduate students in fields ranging from the humanities to environmental
policy or economics to statistics, engineering, physical or biological
sciences complete important, challenging, and in-depth projects. · Communicating

Communicating
Carbon Management Strategies Across Sectors Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. is an emerging leader in the campus sustainability movement—a movement that has much to lend to organizations in other sectors that are not as far along the carbon management path. A Climate Fellow will work with the VHB higher education team to evaluate what kinds of projects and solutions are most immediately applicable with their work in other sectors, including healthcare, airports, municipal governments and others. From there, the fellow will work with Clean Air-Cool Planet and VHB to implement internal strategies at both organizations and produce a white paper for the sharing of best practices across sectors.

Seacoast
Science Center's Carbon Challenge A climate fellow will evaluate and assist in the successful cultivation of Northeast Science Center Collaborative (NESCC) members as implementing partners in the New England Carbon Challenge (NECC) program from the Seacoast Science Center. This fellow will evaluate the progress of science centers implementing the Carbon Challenge. The result of this query will be a short, written report identifying the places where our partners have succeeded and the places where our partners have fallen short, and why. The cumulative result of this work will be a “Guide for Science Centers as an Implementing Partner in a Residential Carbon Challenge. Read the full description (pdf).
Strategic
Communications and Development This fellowship will allow for exploration and development of effective communication mechanisms, aimed at supporting the work outcomes of all of the 2010 fellows, as well as supporting the fellowship program’s overall branding, development, and alumni retention efforts. Two key areas of focus will be effective representation of data and information in graphically appealing ways, and the leverage of existing networks and systems (such as social networking tools) to disseminate these accessible data visualizations. The fellow may work with local graphic and web design studios in Portsmouth, NH, to explore these needs and to develop effective tools. Read the full description (pdf).
This fellow will be involved in Clean Air - Cool Planet’s work in the nation’s capital, meeting key players in climate policy development and producing products of immediate value. He or she will compile background information, assess the latest research and explore policy implications on scientific topic(s) of importance to climate change, in particular issues of climate adaptation on natural resources and natural resource policy. At the end of the summer term, this Climate Policy Fellow will have written one or more papers and/or presentations on the state of scientific/technical knowledge on climate change adaptation and implications for policy development. Read the full description (pdf).
This is the second fellowship assisting Clean Air-Cool Planet in its work in Washington. The fellow will compile background information, assess the latest research and explore policy implications of the economic impact of climate adaptation, readiness, and risk. At the end of the summer term, this fellow will have written one or more papers and/or presentations on the state of scientific/technical knowledge on Adaptation and implications for policy development.

Clean Air-Cool Planet is an active member of the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, with a staff member who serves on its Legislative Affairs Committee. The purposes of this fellowship will be production of a guide to engage small businesses on climate change and sustainability bringing together components of the action plan launched by the City of Portsmouth. The fellow will work to identify key obstacles to success by surveying membership and developing a template for measuring outcomes. He or she will also help develop programs to engage and encourage GPCC members, partners and the greater community in general to demonstrate innovative technologies or programs on the path toward achieving its goal of reducing the carbon footprint.

Working closely with other state environmentalists and under the direction of CA-CP, this Fellow will influence the response to and point of view of Republican candidates and activists throughout New Hampshire on the issue of climate change in advance of the state primary on September 14th. This work is especially important as prospective candidates for the Republican nomination for President will be in the state during this period of time, setting the groundwork for retail-level campaigning in advance of the 2012 presidential primary. The fellow will have the opportunity to extend his or her placement for a second six-week term through the primary. Read the full description (pdf).
Maine
Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Handbook A Maine-based CA-CP Fellow will work throughout the summer in the Portland-based GPCOG office area to ensure regional and municipal project implementation. This will result in a Maine Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Handbook that is modeled upon existing NH and CT handbooks developed by CA-CP over the past two years. In addition, the Fellow will support the Maine Local Energy Committee Working Group that has been formed to advance the goals of the project and that will meet monthly. Maine resident preferred; some travel throughout the GPCOG region likely will be required. Read the full description (pdf).
Historic buildings represent a significant portion of the building stock in New England and indeed of the US as a whole. As a result, improving the energy performance of these structures is an important piece of the global warming solutions puzzle. Clean Air-Cool Planet is working on ways to begin addressing this problem. Our newly released Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and Historic Preservation: A Guide for Historic District Commissions”—a product of two 2009 CA-CP Climate Fellowships—has facilitated the beginnings of a dialogue between the preservationist and green building communities; the 2010 Historic Building Fellow will have the opportunity to carry this work forward in new and important ways. |
