About the Collaborative
The Collaborative was formed to track and facilitate the implementation of the 67 recommendations of the 2008 NH Climate Action Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the future while providing significant economic opportunities across the state.  The Collaborative is in effect “the keepers of the NH Climate Action Plan”.

Collaborative activities include identifying implementing partners who are or could be taking action, developing an inventory of progress against the 67 Climate Action Plan recommendations, working to remove barriers to their implementation, and engaging with a variety of stakeholders.

Workgroups

The NH Energy and Climate Collaborative has developed a process for identifying barriers to implemention of the NH Climate Action Plan and the development of problem-solving Workgroups to develop innovative approaches to removing these barriers. The following section contains final Workgroup reports and supporting research information.
