2026 Policy agenda

Welcome to the Climate Future Forum’s Policy Hub, where the voices of Hawai‘i’s youth shape real climate action.​ Each year, young people across the islands come together to identify the issues that matter most — and build policy solutions to match. From food systems to energy, justice to infrastructure, this is where youth priorities take center stage.

​

What Happens Here?

At CFF’s annual summit, youth work in focus groups to shape the climate agenda across seven key areas:

• Regenerative Food Systems

• Human Rights & Climate Justice

• Clean Energy

• Transportation

• Climate & the Economy

• Climate & Health

• Sustainable Infrastructure

​

But the work doesn’t stop at the summit. Throughout the legislative session, Youth Policy Leaders from each area serve as the bridge between youth voices and lawmakers — organizing testimony, drafting proposals, and advocating for real change at the Capitol.
