Come talk story with the Hawai‘i Climate Commission and share your ideas, concerns, and vision for our islands. Your in-person feedback will help guide the development of the Climate Action Pathways (CAP), a plan to build more affordable, safe, and healthy communities for everyone in Hawai‘i.

This is your chance to make your voice heard and be part of the solution as we work together toward a climate-resilient future.

For more details, visit the Hawai‘i Climate Action Pathways website. You can also pick up a copy of the CAP and its executive summary at your local library.
