Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task ForceIn 2005, Act 8 established the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task Force and provided for the development of a sustainability plan to address the vital needs of Hawaii through the year 2050 and beyond. The 25 member task force, comprised of public and private representatives with a diverse range of experience recommended the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan, with a long-term action agenda, for adoption by the State Legislature. In 2008, the Public Policy Center was commissioned to review the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan (Act 225, 2008 Session Laws of Hawaii) and (1) develop defined data, data sources, and benchmarks for each of the major goals; (2) consult with leaders and organizations relevant to each of the main goals of the H2050 Plan; and (3) report findings and recommendations to the 2010 Legislature.
