This year’s summit theme, “Celebrating You, Shaping Our Future, Sustaining Hawai‘i Together,” underscores the state’s commitment to maintaining collaborative efforts across six crucial domains: Green Workforce and Education; Natural Resource Management; Local Food; Clean Energy Transformation; Solid Waste Reduction; and Smart Sustainable Communities. Through pre-summit workshops and the county’s inaugural Youth Congress and the public celebration, will come actionable steps and lasting solutions for these topics and more.
