• The New Hampshire Comparative Risk Project, which identified and prioritized the ecological and public health threats to New Hampshire's quality of life. This was accomplished via a consensus-based process which included over fifty individuals.
  
• The New Hampshire Minimum Impact Development Partnership, which defined principles and practices for the sustainable design, construction, and operation/maintenance of buildings and grounds. MID set the stage for Jordan’s current High Performance Buildings Program.
  
• Integrated Design / Integrated Development, an alliance of architects, developers, landscape architects, and similar professionals. The group’s next annual conference will take place July 17-18 at Plymouth State University.
  
• Municipal planning assistance to encourage greater protection of natural resources through regulatory measures and voluntary practices.

In response to the growing threat of climate change, Jordan’s staff and board decided in 2007 to focus our efforts on carbon emissions reduction, primarily by dramatically improving energy efficiency of buildings statewide. See Areas of Focus to learn more about how we address this issue.
