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.
RESCHEDULED: NHPR in collaboration with New Hampshire PBS is hosting the second annual By Degrees Climate Summit at the University of New Hampshire, Durham on May 23 at 2:00 p.m. Click here to register.
