About Us

The Jackson Hole Climate Action Collective was created to help Teton County reduce carbon emissions and address local climate change impacts. The Jackson Hole Climate Action Collective first invited interested citizens to gather at the start of 2020. Since then, the organization has recruited experienced volunteers to lead this effort and is co-facilitating a public-private partnership to create a Climate Action Plan for Teton County. Our work is inspired by climate-positive actions taken by local governments in other Rocky Mountain communities.

We’re creating momentum around our mission: working towards a just and equitable climate future for Teton County and the Greater Yellowstone region through policy, advocacy, education and community mobilization. We embrace inclusive community action that supports a wide range of people and organizations to achieve a just climate future.

"As a young resident of Jackson, COVID-19 is just one of many world-altering events I will see in my lifetime. COVID-19 is today, but climate change is my life and the lives of each of us. Jackson prides itself on being a leader and an innovator, but this community must step up to the plate on centering climate-positive action to continue seeing itself as such. The time is here and now – we need to bring together all the expertise and creativity in this community to create collective action. Together, I believe in our ability to create a better world and a livable future for all."
