Faculty Member: James Gruber COOL Monadnock Logo Mount Monadnock This faculty-student research project was funded through a grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. This was a three-year joint initiative with Clean Air-Cool Planet and ANEI that includes partnerships with ICLEI, and the US EPA. The objective of this project was to achieve a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire within three years through an assertive community research and engagement approach. The project was providing support, tools and coordination needed in order to implement an effective new model of regional, multi-town climate action planning and implementation.
