Summary
The Hawai’i 2050 Sustainability Plan, published in 2008, was the state’s first long range plan in 30 years. It was created by the Hawai‘i 2050 Sustainability Task Force, a group of 25 Hawaii citizens with a diverse range of experience in planning, community, business, the environment and government. Although created by the task force, the plan involves heavy community participation. A two-year planning process engaged thousands of residents through multiple rounds of community meetings on every island, Internet outreach through a website and online surveys, and dozens of focus group meetings with stakeholders and experts. More than 10,500 participants provided input on the Hawai‘i 2050 Plan. It includes the State’s first definition of sustainability and that is A Hawai‘i that achieves the following:
- Respects the culture, character, beauty and history of our state’s island communities
- Strikes a balance among economic, social and community, and environmental priorities
- Meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
