The State of Hawai‘i has published many plans and reports in order to promote sustainability and climate resilience but is in need of a statewide climate adaptation and resilience plan as the impacts of climate change continue to intensify. The goal of this project was to provide a report containing relevant information about climate adaptation planning approaches, adaptation strategies, and recommendations as to which strategies and approaches could be beneficial to Hawai'i. This was accomplished through literature reviews and semi-structured interviews with climate change experts, planning experts, and authors of various climate adaptation plans. We then provided recommendations for planning approaches and technological strategies for climate adaptation that could contribute toward the development of a statewide adaptation and resilience plan.
