“The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership.

CIFAL Honolulu onboarded three individuals for an summer internship program. They all have various backgrounds such as environmental science, policy and law, as well as business. They will be doing independent projects as well as various group projects that relate to education, invasive species, and outreach.  

Microprojects are small actions in the form of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) that aim to improve the environment and the community in which we live; these actions can benefit both the natural environment and society. 

SPICE  is a one month Summer Data Science Research Immersion, serving students from Hawai`i, the continental US and the US-affiliated Pacific Region. Students are welcomed from a wide range both computational and non-computational majors.

The year 2024 is when more than half of the Asian and global population participate in major elections amid the continuing war in Ukraine, and worsening crisis in West Asia.

CIFAL Honolulu presented to the Board of Regents at Chaminade University the CIFAL Strategic Framework and Programming. The reason for this webinar is to keep our beneficiaries informed of our doings.

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) plays a crucial role in accelerating global efforts towards disaster risk reduction to achieve inclusive sustainable development. As the lead agency within the United Nations system for coordinating disaster risk reduction, UNDRR offers an e-learning course titled "Risk Assessment for National Planning Processes".
