I am writing in support of Resolution No. 26-87, which would establish a Climate Action and Resiliency Revolving Fund dedicated to implementing Maui County's Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP).
The Climate Action and Resiliency Plan would fund many of the solutions needed to address the challenges Maui has been facing such as severe flooding and coastal erosion. The solutions include nature-based shoreline management, wetland restoration, wastewater improvements, disaster preparedness, and relocation planning for vulnerable coastal areas. These solutions need stable, dedicated funding.
Resolution 26-87 would create a Climate Action and Resiliency Revolving Fund which would provide reliable and dedicated funding to implement the above solutions which are needed to protect public infrastructure, coastal communities, beaches, water quality, and public trust resources before climate impacts become more costly and difficult to address.
Mahalo for the opportunity to provide testimony in support of this resolution
