Celeste Connors, HGG Executive Director: Climate change is a multidimensional challenge that requires interdisciplinary solutions.

Now, as the executive director of Hawaii Green Growth, I'm working with partners at the subnational level to achieve statewide sustainability targets, including in energy, water, food, waste, and smart cities.
