Institute For Climate Action
The Institute for Climate Action is an organization made up of Franklin Pierce students, faculty, staff, and townspeople from the Monadnock Region who are interested in increasing awareness of climate change and working on solutions that can be implemented at FPU and in the surrounding communities.
Most of the work of the institute takes place through the subcommittees. If you're interested in getting involved, come to a meeting, and, join a committee!
Feel free to contact one of the co-coordinators for more information.
