Synopsis

Hawaii is a national leader in sustainability and we want to continue to encourage that strong tradition. During this hearing, we'll discuss existing Federal-Island partnerships in energy, water, land use, marine resources and other sectors as well as initiatives by local and State government. The United Nations International Panel on Climate Change released a stark report on the need for all countries to begin reducing carbon pollution immediately in order to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change. Following the report's release, Secretary of State, John Kerry, said the report makes very clear we face an issue of global willpower not capacity. Secretary Kerry is correct. We have the tools necessary to win this fight. What we need is the will, at all levels, to use them.
