Who are the key players in current climate change conversations? 2. Who are potential advocacy partners? 3. What can or should partnership engagement look like? 4. What issues are “low hanging fruit” (i.e. high feasibility and KS priority alignment)? About the Report The findings in this report can be used as a guide for determining climate advocacy strategies. For example, the data found on legislators could be used to identify climate allies in Congress. ● All organization titles are hyperlinked ● All document titles are hyperlinked ● Organizations marked with a KS logo represents pre-existing partnership or engagement About the Authors Hiʻilei K.

Global Indigenous-centered organizations are also featured. 5 Methodology Initial Research We started our research with organizations we already knew had climate-related initiatives and activities (e.g. Sierra Club Hawaiʻi and Conservation International). Using those sources as a guide, we looked through their websites for lists of partners or other resources to direct us toward other climate-related organizations. The same process was used to find Indigenous-centered climate groups. Identifying Engagement Opportunities After compiling a comprehensive list of key players, we focused on gathering more information about the specific climate-related activities, initiatives, and contributions of each group. For each major action, we brainstormed ways KS could engage, support, or partner. Determine Top Partners To identify potential KS advocacy partners, we considered several feasibility factors. These factors include: the similarities between the organization’s initiatives and KS’ current activities (agriculture, development, education, coastal/marine resource management), the number and nature of engagement pathways, whether KS is already a partner, and past success of each organization’s climate action. 6 Climate Partnerships Spreadsheet Green Highlight = Top Potential Partnerships Purple Highlight = Global Indigenous-centered Organizations 7 Name Level/Location Org Type About Website 350 Hawaii Local/State Nonprofit 350.org is an international environmental organization addressing https://350hawaii.org/ climate change with the goal of reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide to 350ppm from the current level of 400 ppm.

The SM-2 forms part of the Aegis ballistic-missile defense (BMD) program. In “A Double-Edged Sword: Ballistic-Missile Defense and U.S. Alli- ances,” Robert C. Watts IV explores the impact of BMD on America’s relationship with NATO, Japan, and South Korea, finding that the forward-deployed BMD capability that the Navy’s Aegis destroyers provide has served as an important cement to these beneficial alliance relationships.

CASCO Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Management University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa TABLE OF CONTENTS 01 02 03 PURPOSE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE IN THE LEG OVERVIEW Why this resource A review of climate change An assessment and analysis was created for you indicators, impacts, and case of climate-related studies on advocacy initiatives initiatives in the 2019 in the Pacific region Hawaiʻi State Legislature 04 05 06 KEY INSIGHTS + RESOURCES + TOOLS APPENDICES STRATEGIES Sharing advocacy insights Materials to help you get Supporting data and and strategies from started: step-by-step information community members and guides, worksheets, and seasoned environmental resources advocates 2 01 PURPOSE Why this resource was created for you 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WELINA MAI Welcome to the Hawaiʻi Climate Change Advocacy Advisor! Despite the importance of environmental advocacy in ensuring effective decision-making processes and outcomes, smaller community-based resource stewardship organizations in Hawaiʻi often lack the skills, tools, guidance, and capacity to organize their own advocacy plans and strategies. This lack of support has made it difficult to protect and fulfill their environmental interests through an inability to participate in policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels. There is a need to support these groups to develop their own advocacy frameworks and plans, which will ensure their ability to express their views on climate change and natural resource issues that impact them. This resource seeks to support small community-based natural resource organizations in Hawaiʻi to more effectively participate in climate change and natural resource policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels.
