The Hawaii Climate Change Commission conducts a comprehensive review every five years to assess policies, strategies, vulnerable areas, and existing efforts related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The commission tracks progress, submits reports, and maintains a dedicated website to keep stakeholders informed. The first step involves developing Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Reports to identify impacts and solicit public feedback.
