URGING THE GOVERNOR, MAYORS OF EACH COUNTY, AND THE STATE TO WORK TOWARDS A JUST CLIMATE FUTURE BY INTEGRATING INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE INTO POLICY AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES RELATED TO CLIMATE ADAPTATION, CLIMATE MITIGATION, AND CLIMATE RESILIENCY.

SCR 93 is a concurrent resolution (not binding legislation) urging Hawaii's Governor, state agencies, and county mayors to integrate Native Hawaiian knowledge into climate policy. It specifically calls for incorporating *ike kupuna* (traditional ecological knowledge) and the Hawaiian language (*Olelo Hawaii*) into climate adaptation, mitigation, and resiliency planning. The resolution emphasizes that meaningful inclusion of Indigenous knowledge is essential for achieving a "just climate future," referencing Hawaii's constitutional protections for traditional practices and the Pacific-wide Tuurama Ariki Declaration. It directs the state to develop goals that purposefully integrate this knowledge into decision-making processes, without changing existing laws or creating new requirements.
