Human activity is warming the planet. This change is already reshaping how we live and interact with our environment in New Hampshire, across New England and beyond.
From NHPR, By Degrees is a climate change reporting project that tells stories of the people grappling with the challenges of our changing world, and exploring possible solutions. By Degrees explains the science – and the historical context – of our changing climate and why it’s impacting Granite Staters in unequal ways. We’ll answer your questions, hold decision makers accountable, and explore how our state and region are living through this major transition and responding to it.
Join us for NHPR’s 3rd Annual By Degrees Climate Summit: Healthy Connections, in partnership with New Hampshire PBS, on Friday, May 2nd at St. Anselm College!
At the By Degrees Climate Summit: Healthy Connections, we are focused on solutions, collective action, and the powerful ways in which we can come together to safeguard our environment, our communities, and our future. We will explore how individuals and organizations are working to forge stronger connections between environmental health and community well-being—both physically and mentally.
