Climate Adaptation & Resilience
Communities across New England and around the country are experiencing climate change through rising seas, warmer temperatures, increased frequency and intensity of precipitation and flooding, and more extreme weather events. We help states, local governments, tribes, and the private sector plan and pay for the infrastructure necessary to protect critical environmental resources and foster resilient communities.
SNEP Network
The New England Environmental Finance Center administers the SNEP Network, which provides training and assistance to municipalities, organizations, and tribes to advance stormwater and watershed management, ecological restoration, and climate financing in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The Network brings together 16 partners including local environmental organizations, academic institutions, regional planners, and consultants who work collaboratively to provide free training and technical assistance to advance climate resilience goals across the region.

Our goal is to achieve water quality improvements through green and natural infrastructure, stormwater BMPs, nutrient management, and innovative financing.
