Climate Change and Environment

Hawaii has an opportunity to lead the world with our response to climate change in the coming years, and our transition to a clean energy future is already well underway. We have the highest proportion of rooftop solar panels in the entire country, and we are the only state in the nation with a statutory commitment to be carbon negative by 2045 — but we need to do even more in the coming years to accelerate our progress, cut our dependence on fossil fuels, and invest in renewable and sustainable energy in our state.
