Hueston Hennigan Selected for Hawaii Governor’s Climate Advisory Team
Under the leadership of Governor Green, the committee will play a crucial role in drafting comprehensive climate-resilience policy, drawing from diverse perspectives including Governor Green’s administration, climate science experts, business and financial experts, and legal professionals.
