Registration links and details are also below.
Berlin City Hall – Wednesday, January 31, 2024
5-6:30pm
168 Main St, Berlin, NH 03570
PARTICIPATE and/or SHARE this opportunity with others who want to join the conversation about naming key priorities and projects for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. We want to hear about local and regional projects that will benefit NH’s northern region and address the barriers to implementing those projects. All ideas are welcome — from workforce development to cost-sharing programs and coalitions to implement solutions. Again, we hope you will share these opportunities broadly with others and join as it makes sense for you.
If you are located in another region, see All community conversations both ONLINE and In-Person listed on our registration page (scroll toward the bottom). We want to hear about local and regional projects that will benefit communities most in need, and address barriers to implementing those projects. All ideas are welcome – from workforce development, cost-sharing programs, coalitions to implement solutions, etc.
As a reminder, New Hampshire has been granted federal funding to update New Hampshire’s Climate Action Plan. The goals of the New Hampshire Climate Pollution Reduction Program (CPRG) are to:
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions while supporting the creation of good jobs and lowering energy costs for families.
• Empower community-driven solutions in neighborhoods overburdened from pollution and impacts of climate change by directly seeking input from those communities. Under Justice40 guidance, the program’s goal is to have 40% of overall benefits flow to these communities.
• Deliver cleaner air by reducing harmful air pollution in places where people live, work, play and go to school.
• Meaningful community engagement, networking and relationship building are key components for updating NH's Climate Action Plan. We invite you to participate so that your voice is heard!
