Jackson Hole Institute

The Jackson Hole Institute (JHI), founded in 2002, is dedicated to fostering collaboration among leaders and communities in Jackson Hole to address the world's pressing challenges, particularly in the realm of energy transformation. Emphasizing the significance of local engagement, JHI focuses on scaling energy changes in major coal-producing regions to promote economic diversification, job creation, and sustainable community development. At the core of its initiatives is the U.S.-China Clean Energy Initiative, which began in 2003, aimed at enhancing clean energy partnerships between Wyoming and Shanxi, China, two key players in global energy production.

JHI also oversees the Jackson Hole Investor Group, connecting national investors with clean energy opportunities in Wyoming, and facilitates roundtables designed to empower energy communities in navigating transformation. Their Jackson Hole Summit series and the Global Change Series are instrumental in bringing together diverse stakeholders to generate innovative solutions for climate change and other global challenges, while fostering a collaborative environment for idea incubation and development.
