Definition(s)

  • Hawai'i is the only state in the tropics, the only state completely surrounded by water, and is now a claimant to being the first area of the world adversely affected by climate change. Hawai'i anticipates that its future will include a rising sea level, changes in precipitation, and greater vulnerability to storms.
