Climate action starts here!  If you have a climate resilience, mitigation, or adaptation project click the button below to submit your project to our Grants-To-Projects Bridge. We have already connected community, non-profit, county and state projects to funding opportunities and each other to leverage resources and share knowledge on creating a climate ready Hawai’i. 

Once you submit, we will:

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Grants-to-Projects Bridge supports the Commission’s statement to help direct decision making and investments to priority climate-smart infrastructure in Hawaiʻi. Compiled here are state and county active transportation projects, and resilience projects for natural and working lands. Such projects support the Commission’s mission statement of a clean, equitable, and resilient Hawai’i.  Also included here is grants/funding information which may be useful in funding these and other projects. It is hoped that this resource will help make grant and project information more accessible to community members and government agencies, and coordinate funding to ensure these projects are completed and so, move us to a Climate Ready Hawaiʻi.  

This Provenance Document details what is included in our projects and grants spreadsheets, and why.

There are many types of climate change mitigation and adaptation projects from converting to EV fleets, to diverting waste from landfills, to green buildings and green infrastructure. CCMAC focuses on the following mitigation strategies:

  • Walkable Communities
  • Improved Transportation Options
  • Protecting Natural Lands
  • Vehicle Electrification
  • Green Renewable Energy
  • Circular Economics
  • Nature-based Solutions
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Regenerative Agriculture
  • Waste Prevention
  • Energy Incentives
