About Us

The New Hampshire Network for Environment, Energy, and Climate was founded in January 2021, with 26 individual members from assorted organizations across the Granite State.  Our purpose is to facilitate communication among groups concerned about New Hampshire’s environment, energy future, and climate. The New Hampshire Network has grown more than 10 times and continues to grow. 

We are building a network of New Hampshire groups with shared goals. If you would like your organization to be listed on this page, please fill out the form here:

We agree that nonviolence is a core principle of all our endeavors.
