The impacts of climate change and environmental concerns are shared across our region, but when it comes to addressing those issues, the New England states can have strikingly different policies. We tell stories on these topics every day and work together on special series.
In the summer of 2023, we looked at the impacts of extreme weather in our series Beyond Normal. And each year around Earth Day, we present a series of regional climate change stories with a different theme. For our 2024 series, we looked at how climate change is impacting our homes.
