The founder of Earth Day and developer of world’s greenest office building tells his story — and what it may mean for Hawaii.
Hawaii, California, and New Zealand share at least one thing in common: they’re all on a path to clean energy. While utilities and regulators serve a defined geographic region, they see many of the same challenges. This opens up a world of opportunities for collaboration – in some unexpected ways.
Closing plenary thoughts from the organizer and host.
How can we untangle challenges at the nexus of nature and humanity? A holistic “radical remedy of the commons” is within reach. But we need better design thinking and far greater energy and urgency to bring it into being. By transforming markets and scaling enabling technologies, programs, and platforms that offer differentiated solutions for critical, systems-level challenges, we can strengthen the symbiosis between nature and humanity.
Internationally acclaimed poet and storyteller Kealoha performs a special piece for the VERGE Hawaii audience.
