Hawaii Green Growth

What We Do

Today, Hawaiʻi Green Growth continues to be a vibrant hub of public-private partnerships that convenes regularly to identify shared priorities, determine indicators to measure our goals and collaborate to drive meaningful and concrete action. Our five working groups gather quarterly to focus on discussions around data, policy and legislation, local-global next generation leadership, CEO-led Sustainable Business Forum, and the Ala Wai Watershed Collaboration.

Who We Are

HGG emerged as a response to the 2011 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Honolulu. It aimed to identify crucial green growth priorities and promote a sustainable economy, particularly within the context of an island. The UN acknowledged HGG’s exceptional efforts and invited it to become one of the pioneering Local2030 sustainability hubs in November 2018. HGG’s recognition as the first Island and Pacific hub underscores its collective accomplishments as a public-private partnership through the Aloha+ Challenge, a local framework that strives to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
