Founded in 2022 as the Hawai'i Executive Collaborative's Climate Coalition, we are adopting a new name and logo. We are now Climate Hawai'i and are proud to unveil our logo, which incorporates the Hawai'ian "pewa," or butterfly joint. Our mission is to foster transformative collaboration among diverse groups in pursuit of a better climate future for Hawai‘i and the world. The pewa symbolizes both joining and repair. By joining together diverse players into a strong, unified climate response, we can achieve the repair our islands and world need. Mahalo to Sae Design Group for their help in creating this new identity for Climate Hawai'i.
