A First in U.S., Hawaii Law Will Implement Parts of Paris Accord

Hawaii has passed a law to document sea level rise and set strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The bill signed by Gov. David Ige Tuesday aligns the state's goals with the Paris climate accord.

 

President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from that agreement last week.

 

Ige says Hawaii is the first state to enact legislation implementing parts of the Paris climate agreement.
