ENDORSING AND REAFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRESS ACHIEVED BY THE ALOHA+ CHALLENGE THROUGH ITS INTEGRATED APPROACH AND SIX AMBITIOUS TARGETS TO BE REACHED BY 2030.

Senate Resolution 153 endorses Hawaii's Aloha+ Challenge, a statewide sustainability framework tracking progress toward six goals by 2030: clean energy transformation, local food systems, sustainable communities, green workforce development, waste reduction, and natural resource management. The resolution recognizes the state's leadership as the first U.S. jurisdiction to submit a UN Voluntary Local Review using the Aloha+ Dashboard, which measures progress on these goals. It does not create new laws but formally reaffirms legislative support for this existing sustainability initiative.
