Urging The State And Each County To Adopt The Global Pact For The Environment To Achieve The United Nations Paris Agreement And The 2030 Development Agenda, And To Specifically Adopt The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Numbers 13 Through 17.
Impact
If SCR107 is adopted, it would signify a commitment from Hawaii to integrate international standards into local policies. The resolution emphasizes the importance of taking urgent action on climate change, which directly aligns with broader efforts toward sustainability. It could also encourage local governments to consider and implement practices that are consistent with the Global Pact principles, particularly in areas related to environmental justice and resource management.
Summary
SCR107 urges the State of Hawaii and its counties to adopt the Global Pact for the Environment, aligning with the United Nations Paris Agreement and the 2030 Development Agenda. This resolution aims to incorporate sustainable development goals aimed at combating climate change, conserving marine resources, promoting social inclusivity, and strengthening the implementation of global partnerships. Notably, the resolution highlights the need for a coordinated approach to environmental governance that reflects both local and global aspirations.
Contention
One of the central points of contention surrounding SCR107 pertains to the balance between local governance and adherence to international standards. While supporters argue that adopting the Global Pact will enhance Hawaii's role as a leader in environmental protection, critics may voice concerns that such resolutions could limit the autonomy of local governments in addressing specific environmental issues tailored to their communities. The resolution has the potential to foster debate on how best to blend local needs with global environmental commitments.
