Alex Posner is a JD candidate at Yale Law School, where he is focused on climate and energy policy and pathways to renewing bipartisanship in the United States. He graduated summa cum laude from Yale College with a degree, with distinction, in History. He was one of thirteen juniors in his class elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Alex is the co-founder and president of the Climate Solutions Fund (CSF), a nonprofit organization working to build bipartisan support for ambitious decarbonization policy. CSF works across policy development, coalition-building and advocacy, and strategic philanthropy.

He previously launched Students for Carbon Dividends (S4CD). Co-founded by more than 100 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 united around a national climate plan. He was also 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.

Alex is originally from New York City. He loves documentaries, space exploration, and the art of magic. He served as president of the Yale Magic Society (Yale’s most secretive society) and is a longtime volunteer with the organization Magicians Without Borders.
