WAIMANALO, HI – The Nation of Hawai’i, rooted in its rich cultural heritage and commitment to environmental stewardship, proudly announces its unwavering support for renewable energy and sustainable technology initiatives. In a historic resolution passed on January 24, 2024, the Nation of Hawai’i reaffirms its dedication to preserving its unique natural beauty, ecological diversity, and cultural heritage.

The Nation of Hawai’i draws inspiration from its rich and innovative history when the Native Hawaiian people thrived in a self-sufficient subsistent social system based on communal land tenure, enriched by a sophisticated language, culture, and religion. Today, the Nation is determined to revive and restore the Ahupua’a system while addressing the pressing global climate crisis.

Recognizing the urgent need to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions, the Nation of Hawai’i acknowledges renewable energy and sustainable technology as pivotal tools to transition towards cleaner and more efficient energy sources. The Nation’s MicroGrid Building Project, a pioneering endeavor, has demonstrated the Nation of Hawaii’s ability to think outside the box, while advancing innovative projects in line with environmental sustainability.

Renewable energy is not only a pillar of sovereignty for the Nation, but also a key component for environmental sustainability and a catalyst for economic growth. It creates employment opportunities and enhances energy security, contributing to a prosperous and resilient future for the Nation of Hawai’i.

In light of this resolution, the Nation of Hawai’i expresses its wholehearted support for the promotion and implementation of renewable energy and sustainable technology initiatives, both within its communities and across the globe. The Nation also commends and encourages collaborative efforts aimed at advancing renewable energy projects and sustainable technology solutions.

The Nation of Hawai’i will take all necessary steps to implement policies and initiatives that support and promote renewable energy and sustainable technologies. This resolution serves as a testament to the Nation’s commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future, emphasizing its role as a global leader in environmental conservation and innovation.

President Kanahele expresses deep gratitude for the unwavering dedication of the Nation’s citizens and partners to this noble cause. He encourages all nations and communities worldwide to join hands in the pursuit of a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future.
