SUSTAINABILITY & CONSERVATION

With so much at stake, we must rise to the challenge — for UH and for Hawai‘i

The faculty and students of our 10 UH campuses bring our wealth of traditional island knowledge, our understanding of hundreds of years of sustainable living here, our decades of leading research, our long-standing and deepening relationships across the Pacific, our curiosity, and our commitment to living together peacefully in a complex world.

UH provides the scientific and intellectual capacity for addressing Hawai‘i’s problems and opportunities, particularly in the realms of sustainability, energy and climate resilience through efforts such as:

• Climate-Resilient Food Innovation Network
• Native plant conservation at Lyon Arboretum
• Ocean research at Waikīkī Aquarium and the Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology
• The Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes
• Institute for Sustainability and Resilience
• College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources
• Ho‘ouluwehi, the Sustainable Living Institute of Kaua‘i
