If you weren't able to make it to this year's MT2030 Climate Solutions Summit in Jackson, we've posted the session recordings so you can see what you missed. Every keynote and breakout session. And while it's great to watch them all afterwards, there really is no substitute for being there in person. See you there next year? See the recordings here: https://lnkd.in/gX9HJ9KK

The timing could not have been better to be having this conversation with Benjamin (Benji) Backer at the recent MT2030 Climate Solutions Summit in Jackson. If we're going to solve climate, we need to bridge the partisan divide and that starts with finding common ground. Thanks Benji, for sharing your insights with us and to the The Cool Down's Anna Robertson for asking the important questions. Read this on NPR: https://lnkd.in/g_fc8FnU

“When he was president last time, the solar, wind and EV expansion continued anyway because economics are driving it and because state, provincial and city governments and companies are driving it.” It's good to see Al Gore disrupting the status quo at COP29 - if you have three minutes, watch this electrifying speech.
CEO at Earthly | Optimistic Keynote Speaker | Host of Wilding Earth | On a mission to Restore >1% of the Planet by 2030
Al Gore’s electrifying speech at COP29 is one of the standout moments for me. It was a powerful reminder of what’s at stake and a call for the ambition and accountability the world urgently needs. He reminds us that the stakes have never been higher and the time for decisive action is now. Key Takeaways from the Speech: ?? The Science is Undeniable: Decades-old climate predictions have proven correct, reinforcing the need to prioritise scientists over polluters. ?? Greenland’s Melting Ice: 30 million tonnes of ice are lost every hour, disrupting vital ocean currents. ?? Risk of System Collapse: Peer-reviewed studies warn of 2050 ecological system collapses if current trends continue. ?? Escalating Impacts: Climate disasters are now weekly occurrences, accelerating far beyond historical trends. ?? Fossil Fuel Dominance: Breaking the financial and political stranglehold of the fossil fuel industry is crucial for progress. ?? Climate Migration Crisis: Up to 1 billion climate migrants this century could destabilise global social and political systems. ?? Africa’s Solar Potential: Despite holding 60% of the world’s solar capacity, Africa faces huge barriers to capital, stalling its clean energy revolution. Few have contributed as much to climate action and environmental protection as Al Gore over the last few decades: ?? Pioneering Climate Advocacy: He spearheaded action as a U.S. Congressman and Senator in the 1980s. ?? Leading Author: His 1992 book, Earth in the Balance, outlined solutions that remain essential today. ?? Kyoto Protocol Champion: As Vice President, he was instrumental in securing the first global greenhouse gas reduction treaty. ?? His Pivotal Documentary: An Inconvenient Truth (2006) transformed climate awareness worldwide. ?? Nobel Laureate: Co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for catalysing global climate action. ?? Empowering Advocates: His Climate Reality Project has trained thousands of climate leaders worldwide. ?? Innovative Solutions: Through Climate TRACE, he uses AI to monitor and expose global emissions. For so many years Al Gore has sounded the alarm, championed bold solutions and inspired millions to act. Thank you Al, for your unwavering leadership and tireless commitment to protecting our shared planet for generations to come. ?? (Credit: Reuters)

Mountain Towns 2030 community members are embarking on inspiring projects to decarbonize. Thanks to Anna Robertson from The Cool Down for covering this years Climate Solutions Summit!
Mountain Towns 2030 is a climate accelerator for mountain and outdoor communities, building capacity and empowering them to achieve zero-carbon emissions. Leaders from over 70 mountain towns and over 40 ski resorts gathered in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for the third annual Mountain Towns 2030 Summit, a meeting of the mountain minds aimed squarely at accelerating progress toward net-zero emissions by 2030. "Attendees heard from Bethany Patten, executive director of the MIT Climate Policy Center at MIT Sloan, who demo'd an online climate simulator called?En-ROADS?that gives policymakers, educators, businesses, the media, and the public the ability to see, in real time, the impact of potential climate solutions." https://lnkd.in/ecUe4FZy
Hundreds of leaders from mountain towns gather to discuss critical future move: 'How quickly can we do it?'

Today, we're celebrating?Live PC Give PC,?Park City's annual day of giving. It's an extraordinary day where the entire community turns out to support the nonprofit organizations that are doing the hard work that makes the region so special. Founded in Park City in 2019, Mountain Towns 2030 is proud to be one of the participating organizations in Live PC Give PC. ? Given the results of the recent election, the timing could not be more important.?But we’ve been here before and climate action didn’t stop last time. We have the game plan and with progress stalled at the federal level, the focus will again need to be on the states and municipalities where we have the will and the leverage to continue to make real progress. MT2030 is uniquely positioned to lead this movement. While Live PC Give PC originates in Park City, the impacts of climate change have no borders. Our work benefits?every?mountain community - the one you live in, or visit. Just like the movement we're building,?it takes a collective effort by all of us, driven by a deep and sincere love of place to make the impact we need. ? Please consider making a contribution to Mountain Towns 2030 during Live PC Give PC today; supporting our work to build a movement of mountain communities taking bold action on climate and showing the world that can be done.

The Town of Breckenridge, Colorado in collaboration with 106West Logistics, recently launched our last mile E-Delivery phase 1 pilot. By centralizing deliveries of large trucks and distributing goods around town via electric Club Cars, we are reducing emissions, improving safety, and enhancing business experience. This pilot alone will reduce the number of delivery trucks on Breckenridge roads by 33 trucks per week; trucks that would otherwise be idling for hours as they made deliveries. We estimate in the first week we've eliminated 1.66 metric tons of GHGs from Breckenridge streets improving local air quality and helping to achieve long-term GHG reductions. We are excited to grow this program to better serve businesses in the Breckenridge community. Stay tuned with more updates as this program evolves.

To celebrate the 2024/25 season opening of Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, let's focus on their climate leadership. A Basin achieved 100% renewable electricity sourcing and carbon neutrality and they've always been a consistent and powerful voice on climate policy. A long-time supporter of the MT2030 Climate Solutions Summit, they're also a partner in the Summit Climate Action Collective, a community-wide effort to develop and implement a climate action plan throughout the region. We applaud Arapahoe Basin's climate leadership on so many levels, helping make sure that our kids can have opening days like this in the future. Watch their video below:

While last night's election will introduce new challenges for urgent climate action, remember that we are stronger together, and across our mountain communities, counties, and states, we've already achieved more climate progress than ever imagined. Our deep love of place is what drives us all, and our commitment to climate action at the local level continues to be our way forward. Now is not the time to waver in our commitment. Let's strengthen our resolve, come together, and aim even higher. By working together, setting bold targets, and embracing innovative solutions, this movement of mountain communities can continue to build the clean energy future we envision. Let's keep pushing forward.
