The Aloha+ Challenge is a shared statewide leadership commitment to build a more secure, sustainable and resilient future for Hawaiʻi by achieving six sustainability targets by 2030, which include: 1. Clean Energy: 70 percent clean energy – 40 percent from renewables and 30 percent from efficiency. 2. Local Food: At least double local food production – 20 to 30 percent of food consumed is grown locally.3. Natural Resource Management: Reverse the trend of natural resource loss mauka to makai by increasing freshwater security, watershed protection, community-based marine management, invasive species control and native species restoration.4. Waste Reduction: Reduce the solid waste stream prior to disposal by 70 percent through source reduction, recycling, bioconversion, and landfill diversion methods.5. Smart Sustainable Communities: Increase livability and resilience in the built environment through planning and implementation at state and county levels.6. Green Workforce & Education: Increase local green jobs and education to implement these targets.

In order to implement the Aloha+ Challenge, the partnership will:• Establish and expand our partnerships between government agencies, non-profit organizations, the private sector and local communities to promote coordinated and integrated action; • Share experiences, tools and techniques among Hawai‘i’s officials, practitioners and community leaders;• Increase long-term financing mechanisms for conservation and sustainability programs essential to reaching our 2030 targets; and • Review and report progress to achieve the Aloha+ Challenge annually to our respective legislative bodies.

The partnership currently uses dynamic multi-sector teams with representatives from islands across the state to share expertise while planning and implementing priority projects. It is working on the design of a statewide sustainability action network to expand engagement and facilitate collaborative action learning in the future.

The partnership is currently governed jointly by:1. Hawaii’s 6 elected Chief Executives (Governor, 4 Mayors & Office of Hawaiian Affairs Chair) represented by their appointed Sustainability Coordinators2. Hawaii Green Growth Steering Committee (12 public and private leaders from key agencies and organizations)
