NHPR’s By Degrees Climate Summit

Our fourth annual gathering will take place Friday, May 8 at Manchester Community College, bringing together community members and changemakers from across New Hampshire and beyond. This year’s theme is community resilience, centered on a key question: How do communities come together to face shared environmental challenges? We’ll be looking closely at water quality and environmental pollutants, including PFAS and other emerging contaminants, and the ways communities are creating change through policy, science, storytelling and collective action. When: Friday, May 8, 2026 at 5:00 AM - 1:00 PM EDT
