Health experts today acknowledge the health and welfare of New Hampshire children and adults are influenced by climate change.
“The impacts of a changing climate include direct and indirect effects on public health, and New Hampshire needs to be better prepared,” says Joan H. Ascheim, New Hampshire Public Health Association’s executive director. “More education is essential, and strong policies to forestall the effects of climate change are critical and time-sensitive.”
