Jane Jackson

 

Jane is an environmental scientist. After completing her dissertation she felt compelled to take action. Transport in Ireland proved the best place to start. For the past 7 years, she has run 80max climate solutions, which to date has 1,300 people pledged to drive 80 kph as their top speed, organised the planting of 13,000 native trees and run four annual tree festivals.

Her work encourages people to take simple, fair and effective steps to reduce their impact on the climate. Jane is also secretary of the ICA (Irish Country Women's Association) National Climate and Biodiversity subcommittee.
