Also attending the summit are Hawaii County Mayor Mitch Roth and a panel of students from Kamehameha School’s Ka‘āmauloa Pathways pilot program.

The program focuses on using Hawaiian indigenous wisdom and sustainability “that goes back centuries to find local solutions to global problems,” according to a press release from the governor’s office.

The students are scheduled to provide “opening protocol” and sit on a panel discussion with Celeste Connors, CEO of Hawaii Green Growth.

Green is expected to to return to Honolulu Wednesday. Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke will serve as acting governor during his absence.
