Climate Change Policy Task Force

Climate Change Action Plan
for the State of New Hampshire

In December 2007, Governor Lynch issued Executive Order Number 2007-3, which established a Climate Change Policy Task Force and charged the task force with developing a Climate Change Action Plan for the State of New Hampshire. The Executive Order directs the task force to submit the action plan to the Governor by September 1, 2008.

DES is designated as the lead agency for the task force and Commissioner Burack is the appointed chairperson. The first meeting for the task force was held on January 18, 2008. As part of the process to formulate the action plan, DES has formed a number of technical and policy working groups to assist in the development of specific actions for consideration by the task force.
