This website offers information on climate science and adaptation in Hawai'i. Users can also monitor the work of the state's Interagency Climate Adaptation Committee.

Narrative

Despite global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the state of Hawai'i recognizes that climate change impacts will require adaptation to new conditions. This portal provides information to help residents understand climate science and take steps to prepare for climate change. 

Specifically, the site tracks the work of the state's Interagency Climate Adaptation Committee. The committee's first task is to develop a statewide Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Report—referred to as the SLR Report—by December 31, 2017.
