On Tuesday August 15, a group of leaders from a range of sectors across Hawai’i gathered at Shangri La to connect one week after the Maui wildfires and to listen to Catherine Coleman Flowers, climate justice activist and author of “Waste: One Woman’s Fight Against America’s Dirty Secret” in conversation with her fellow Elemental Excelerator Policy Lab Fellow Evan Weber, and Dr. Kealoha Fox, President of the Institute for Climate and Peace. Dr. Fox opened and moderated the conversation.
