As in many New Hampshire municipalities, climate change adaptation is not currently a topic of municipal concern in Dover. Some town leaders and municipal board members are aware of the pressing need to begin adaptation efforts, but they are cautious about approaching this issue due to the generally conservative views about climate change in New Hampshire. Municipal leaders feel that there is a need for broader public concern about climate change risk before they can prioritize adaptation planning and related efforts. It is hoped that this project can introduce residents to the importance of climate change adaptation and stimulate greater interest in incorporating climate change risk into everyday planning and decision- making in Dover.
