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. The night will kick-off with a presentation by environmentalist and author Paul Hawken, introducing the work 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.”

Mountain Towns 2030 helps transition mountain towns to net zero by 2030...and positively influence people and organizations around the world.
We believe mountain towns have the power to have a global impact on climate change. MT2030 is a coalition of mountain towns committed to work together to aggressively reduce their carbon emissions to net-zero and hopefully by the year 2030.
We help mountain towns accelerate their progress to net-zero by:
Setting Goals by signing on the MT2030 Pledge, analyzing and tracking carbon emissions, and prioritizing carbon reduction objectives.
Finding & Implementing Solutions by applying the Project Drawdown comprehensive framework to identify high-impact opportunities, recommending experts, and sharing know-how and experiences spanning policy-making to technical information.
Influencing Others by communicating the successful efforts of MT2030 communities and partners.
