Environment

We recognize that the health of culture, community and individuals is inseparable from the health of our natural resources. We want to know how local communities are mitigating climate change and biodiversity loss, building resilience ahead of natural disasters, perpetuating traditional Hawaiian stewardship practices, and increasing local food production and access. Our goal is to help deepen understanding of the many people and communities working to create a more restorative, sustainable Hawai‘i and build more reciprocal relationships with our environment.

Behind the Story

It's all connected.

The issues shaping our islands — from housing and water to education, environment, and health — are not separate stories. They are connected through people, place, history, and the systems that influence our daily lives.

HCJ traces those connections. We look beyond single events or headlines to understand how decisions ripple across communities and generations, and how solutions emerge from interwoven relationships across Hawaiʻi.
