Annual Gathering

Mountain Towns 2030 Climate Summit

Next Summit · Aspen, Colorado · October 12-13, 2027

The annual gathering of leaders shaping climate action across mountain, resort, and rural communities, sharing what's working and building what's next.

About the Summit

The Pre-Eminent Gathering for Mountain Town Climate Action

Since launching in 2019, the Summit has evolved into the pre-eminent networking and knowledge-building event for local elected officials and sustainability teams, ski resort leaders, nonprofits and local businesses, all committed to accelerating climate action in mountain, resort and rural communities throughout the US.

Each fall the Summit travels to a different mountain community. Designed for collaboration and built for progress, it connects colleagues from mountain, resort, and rural communities to share what's working and accelerate what comes next.

Our sixth annual Summit in Sun Valley, Idaho brought together more than 500 leaders from 80+ mountain communities and 40+ ski resorts. Next stop: Aspen, Colorado, October 12-13, 2027.

At a pivotal moment for our mountain communities, there's never been a more important time to lead.
