Aspen one step closer to hosting 2027 Climate Solutions Summit

Aspen City Council passed a resolution on Tuesday that supports hosting the 2027 Climate Solutions Summit in Aspen next year, in collaboration with Mountain Towns 2030, to showcase the city’s continued commitment to combating climate change. Council initially expressed support for sponsoring Mountain Towns 2030’s annual climate summit — an initiative connecting communities with the aim of reducing carbon emissions — at the beginning in August, according to previous reporting from The Aspen Times. Mountain Towns 2030 was founded in 2019 in Park City, Utah, a nonprofit and network of committed mountain towns and local governments aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. The 2027 summit would be a two-day event from Oct. 12-13 that could bring in 600+ attendees to Aspen, including climate experts and governmental leaders committed to tackling the climate crisis.
