Hawaii's Climate Change Action Plan
A Hawaii Climate Change Action Plan Workshop on October 30, 1997 was a preliminary effort to obtain citizen input on Hawaii's goals and suggestions for greenhouse gas emission reduction measures. About 100 citizens heard a report on the state's efforts in the area of climate change action and provided their views on ways to reduce future greenhouse gas emissions.
Act 234
Act 234, Session Laws of Hawaii 2007, established the State's policy framework and requirements to address Hawaii's greenhouse gas emissions, recognizing the potential adverse effects of the recent climate change and global warming to Hawaii's economy, public health, natural resources, and environment. The general purpose of Act 234 is to establish and cost-effectively achieve State policy of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions and limits at or below the best estimates and updates of the inventory of Hawaii's greenhouse gas emissions estimates of 1990 emissions levels by January 1, 2020.
