Bill > SCR108

This Concurrent Resolution affirms Hawaii's continued dedication to the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, which aims to limit global warming, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a set of global targets for peace and prosperity. It also formally endorses the concept of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, a proposed international agreement to end the exploration and expansion of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which are the primary drivers of climate change. The resolution urges the State of Hawaii, its counties, and the U.S. government to support this treaty initiative, recognizing the urgent need to address the climate crisis, which is already impacting Hawaii through rising sea levels and extreme weather, and to transition towards a clean energy economy.
