Hawaiʻi’s Local Action to Global Challenge: Sustainable Development, the Green Economy, and Climate Action

This summer, position yourself at the intersection of climate action and economic policy in Hawaiʻi, a pioneer in localized United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) implementation. Designed for graduate students, this global field intensive pairs preparatory coursework with on-the-ground study of the statewide Aloha+ Challenge framework, evaluating clean energy transformation, local food security, and green workforce development. Together with your cohort, you will build high-value professional connections by engaging directly with government agencies, business innovators, non-profits, and community leaders driving local climate resilience.
