HIPA assisted the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task Force in developing the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan – the state’s first long-range sustainability plan in 30 years. The Task Force decided to invest in a community-driven approach that asked the residents what future they want for their children and grandchildren: what options for jobs and careers will the next generation have? What choices will they have in housing, healthcare and education? How will we care for the land and oceans to protect our fragile environment?
As the lead consultant, HIPA designed and implemented a comprehensive range of tools to assist the Task Force in engaging communities across the state in this in-depth conversation about the future of Hawaii’s economy, society and environment. Ultimately, more than 10,000 residents participated in the Hawaii 2050 planning process, making it one of the most inclusive community planning events in Hawaii.
HIPA developed and utilized these tools:
- Multiple rounds of statewide meetings
- A comprehensive website with a comment area:
- An e-newsletter with a subscriber base of more than 2,000
- Internet surveys
- Statewide public opinion polls
- Dozens and dozens of focus groups with leaders in business, the environment, education, community nonprofits
- Print, broadcast and electronic media coverage statewide
