About this Event
This Opening Night Event for Mountain Towns 2030 is open-to-the-public.
The first ever Mountain Towns 2030 Net Zero Summit kicks off on Wed Oct 2 at 630p with an Opening Night Event keynote presentation by Dr. Jane Goodall, Ph.D., DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace. Introduction by Paul Hawken, Founder of Project Drawdown, a non-profit dedicated to researching when and how global warming can be reversed.
About Dr. Jane Goodall
In July 1960, at the age of 26, Jane Goodall traveled from England to what is today Tanzania’s Gombe National Park and bravely entered the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. She was equipped with nothing more than a notebook and a pair of binoculars. But with her unyielding patience and characteristic optimism, she won the trust of these initially shy creatures. She managed to open a window into their sometimes strange and often familiar-seeming lives. The public was fascinated and remains so to this day.
In the last five decades her message has evolved into a personal quest to empower others to make the world a better place for all living things.
In 1977, Dr. Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI). Today JGI is a global organization, with 30 offices, supporting the research at Gombe in addition to innovative community-centered conservation and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program.
Dr. Goodall has traveled more than 300 days per year on a perpetual world speaking tour since the 1980s, including to more than twenty-two countries last year alone.
During her keynote address for Mountain Towns 2030, Jane will share with us how each one of us can “make a difference.”
