Climate Hawaii (c3)
2025 Programs
In 2025, Climate Hawai‘i is focused in four areas: 1) Developing collective support for key climate measures at the state legislature while hosting “brave space” conversations around thornier climate policy issues; 2) Creating a platform to foster peer-to-peer learning around best practices for decarbonization and climate resilience, recognizing both the power of social pressure and social proof around climate solutions; 3) Seeking to develop an expert analysis of Hawai‘i’s best pathways to achieve our 100% clean energy future and socialize it among key decision leaders; and 4) Continuing to highlight and celebrate climate progress through our annual Climate Leadership Awards.
