"We are no longer anticipating the destructive effects of climate change -- we are now fully enduring them.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

There is no town, city, or human community on earth that is safe from the kind of extreme weather fueled by climate change that we experienced in Hawai"i last month. We are in this together -- we are all part of one interconnected and interdependent global community.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

We urge our friends and neighbors in the global community to join us in our commitment to renewable green energy systems, protecting and strengthening our energy grids, and investing in solutions and technologies that can help reverse climate change."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

The leadership displayed by the students from Kamehameha Schools is nothing short of remarkable. Their dedication to sustainability and their role in presenting the second VLR in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi to the United Nations is a testament to the bright future of Hawaiʻi and the global community."
