Building a resilient island community in the face of challenge and change.

 

Our mission is to support the City and County of Honolulu in its vision of a more economically self-sufficient and safer Oʻahu.

Climate Action Plan

The 44 actions within directly address the challenge of long-term affordability and the impacts of a climate crisis that is already driving islanders from their homes. This Strategy was not the work product of one; it is a gut-check from thousands of residents who want to see action to protect the island they love.

The City’s first climate adaptation strategy enhances the City and community’s resilience to climate impacts through specific, measurable actions that prepare us for the worst scenarios while also charting a course toward a more equitable, resilient, and climate ready O‘ahu.

The Climate Action Plan is a community-specific strategy to combat climate change and eliminate fossil fuel emissions—the root cause of climate change. The Plan outlines nine overarching strategies with corresponding climate actions the City can immediately pursue to reduce O‘ahu’s greenhouse gas pollution from ground transportation, electricity, and waste sectors from 2020 to 2025.
