Annual Progress Review
INTRODUCTION
The New Hampshire Climate Action Plan was completed in March 2009 with the help of the NH Climate Change Policy Task Force developed by Executive Order of the Governor in 2007. For the past year, the NH Energy and Climate Collaborative volunteered to track, report and communicate progress towards implementation of the recommended actions outlined in the NH Climate Action Plan and to discuss the gaps and challenges implementing partners face within their sector. The results of our collective efforts and our state’s progress on implementing the goals of the Climate Action Plan are outlined here in the Climate Action Plan Annual Progress Review 2010.
“Here in New Hampshire, we recognize that climate change poses serious risks to the health of our citizens, to our quality of life and to our economic future,” Gov. John Lynch said. “Working together, we have made great progress on implementing the recommended actions in the New Hampshire Climate Action Plan, however more work needs to be done. We must continue to work together because it is the right thing to do for our environment, and it is the smart thing to do for our future.”
Progress Map
In an effort to share progress towards implementation, the Collaborative has developed a Progress Map. This Progress Map provides:
• An Overview of Energy and Climate Action at the Federal, Regional, and State Level; Analysis of NH Energy Consumption, Costs, and Emissions; and Economic Development Opportunities
• The Goals, Role, Membership, Meeting Notes, and Success Stories of the NH Energy and Climate Collaborative
• Update on Action in NH, tracking the implementing partners around the state, challenges that have been identified and the Networks that are forming within specific sectors
• Success Stories where individuals and organizations have led efforts to support the recommendations in the Climate Action Plan
• A Call to Action for all NH citizens
