Grant Overview

New Hampshire's Climate Resilience Landscape: A Critical Need for Community-Based Planning. New Hampshire faces significant challenges in addressing the impacts of climate change, particularly in its rural and coastal communities. The state's changing climate is projected to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, highlighting the need for proactive climate adaptation planning. In New Hampshire, 80% of municipalities lack formal climate plans, leaving them vulnerable to climate-related hazards. The barrier to addressing this issue lies in the limited capacity of local governments and community organizations to develop and implement effective climate resilience plans. Communities in New Hampshire, particularly those in rural and coastal areas, face significant challenges in preparing for and responding to climate-related hazards. Local governments and community organizations often struggle to develop and implement effective climate resilience plans due to limited resources and capacity constraints. The funding opportunity addresses this barrier by supporting community-based climate resilience planning in New Hampshire. By engaging residents in participatory workshops and forums, grantees can empower communities to identify vulnerabilities and propose actionable solutions. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with experience working on climate resilience initiatives in New Hampshire. ## New Hampshire's Community Climate Resilience Capacity. Applicants should demonstrate a strong understanding of New Hampshire's climate resilience landscape and a proven track record of working with local communities. ## Climate Resilience in New Hampshire's Rural Communities. The state's rural areas face significant challenges in preparing for and responding to climate-related hazards, highlighting the need for targeted planning and capacity-building initiatives. Unlike neighboring states, New Hampshire requires applicants to demonstrate a specific understanding of the state's unique climate resilience challenges, including the need for granular, community-level planning. New Hampshire's geographic anchor points include its rural areas, such as the White Mountains and the Lakes Region, as well as its coastal communities, like the Seacoast region. Economic anchor points include the state's major industries, such as tourism and manufacturing, which employ a significant portion of the workforce. Infrastructure anchor points include the state's transportation network, including highways and rural roads, as well as its community infrastructure, including town halls and community centers. Demographic anchor points include the state's population density, with significant proportions of rural residents.
