From the Hawai‘i Climate Commission

Hawaiʻi Climate Week, January 9-12th, 2023, at the Imin Conference Center, East-West Center will be full of events centered on climate change in Hawaiʻi, hosted by a suite of local organizations concerned with changing climate conditions in the islands, including the Hawaiʻi State Climate Commission, the Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center (PI-CASC), University of Hawaiʻi Sea Grant College Program, Pacific RISA, and the East-West Center.

The Climate Commission’s annual conference (website) highlights the climate change initiatives of the State of Hawaiʻi and its many partners, and strategically identifies what actions we must collectively pursue to mitigate the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming.

The PI-CASC Hawaiʻi Climate Adaptation Science Summit (website) focuses on climate adaptation science for managing changing conditions associated with drought and wildfire, integrated watersheds, and sea-level rise, as well as exploring researcher-manager-practitioner engagement and linking to human elements of climate adaptation.
