About the Sustainability Film Series

The Sustainability Film Series is designed to explore contemporary issues at the intersection of human and natural environments. The series combines films and panel discussions aimed at linking film themes to Hawai‘i and the region. Panelists with differing expertise, including scientists, policy-makers, nonprofit experts, and artists, will discuss the many dimensions of existing efforts and sustainability solutions. The series is open to the public and designed for broad engagement. It is our hope that the series inspires communities of practice among students and community members by empowering you to engage in these important social and environmental issues.

In the Fall of 2024, we are delighted that sponsorship from the State of Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission will allow us to provide these events to the public free of charge.
