Justin Klingler graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Master's in Public Policy in 2019 and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Affairs in 2018. He is interested in energy and environmental policy. In 2019, he worked on a joint campus-community climate resilience plan with the town of Durham, NH and the UNH Sustainability Institute. Justin worked with town staff and employees to compile a list of indicators and metrics that are used to measure how resilient the campus community is, collect data to support these metrics, and draft recommendations for Durham to become more resilient. This project is part of UNH’s broader commitment under Second Nature’s President’s Climate Leadership Commitment. This experience offered him a real perspective on the challenges that municipalities face, and experience with community-university collaboration around climate change resilience.
