Alexander Posner

Alexander Posner is the President of Climate Solutions Action.

He previously established and led Students for Carbon Dividends (S4CD). Co-founded by more than 100 leading campus organizations from across the country (including 50+ conservative groups and 50+ liberal and environmental groups), S4CD marked the first time a bipartisan student coalition has ever united around a national US climate solution. Its work has garnered national press attention, including in The New York Times, TIME, The Atlantic, Fox News, CNBC, and The Washington Post. 

In 2019, he was part of the organizing team for the “Economists Statement on Carbon Dividends,” which appeared as an editorial in the Wall Street Journal. Signed by more than 3,500 US economists, including 28 Nobel laureates, it is the largest statement of economists in the history of the profession.

In 2020, he coordinated the organizing of the “Student Government Leaders’ Statement on Carbon Dividends,” which was signed by more than 400 student body presidents from all 50 states. It is the largest-ever declaration of US student government leaders.

He studied at Yale University, where he graduated summa cum laude, as a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
