HGG co-hosts first Aloha+ Legislation and Policy Retreat

 APolicy Retreat Panel

In November 2015, Hawai'i Green Growth co-hosted the first Aloha+ Challenge Legislation and Policy Retreat with Senator Gabbard, Representative Yamane and Representative Lee, bringing together county leadership, Legislators, cabinet members and public and private partners. Over 100 participants attended the retreat to identify recommendations for action on the Aloha+ Challenge that could be announced and highlighted at the World Conservation Congress in September 2016. We identified key policy for state, federal, county and private sector action on the six Aloha+ Challenge goals, including priorities on resilient infrastructure, biosecurity, innovative finance and statewide sustainability coordination.

Hawai‘i Green Growth 2016 Legislative Priorities

Building on recommendations from the Aloha+ Challenge Legislation and Policy Retreat, Hawai'i Green Growth reached agreement on shared legislative priorities that will significantly advance the Aloha+ Challenge. As a public-private partnership, these priorities possess broad support among members and across sectors, have committed leadership to steward the effort, and engage partners across disciples and sectors.
