2025 Conference
A meeting hosted by the Pacific Risk Management ʻOhana (PRiMO) and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation.
March 17 - 20, 2025
Hawaiʻi Convention Center
Honolulu, Hawaii
Theme
Building Coalitions and Local Solutions for Resilience
Recent disasters like the wildfires in Hawaiʻi and Typhoon Mawar in the Marianas demonstrate how climate change and extreme weather events create increasing challenges to the resiliency of Pacific Islands. Addressing not only acute disasters but also chronic hazards like erosion and invasive species requires collaboration among diverse Pacific Island perspectives through initiatives like PRiMO. By fostering coalitions and creating localized solutions, we can effectively mobilize resources and build resilience to combat these pressing environmental and socio-economic issues.
The PRiMO ʻOhana will convene in March 2025 to share resources, knowledge, and lessons learned in topical areas including: Pre-disaster Recovery Planning and Preparedness, Housing and Infrastructure Resilience, Natural and Cultural Resources, Community Resilience, and Innovations in Resilience. Together, we can develop local solutions that utilize the wisdom of the past, the innovation of today, and provide greater security for future generations.
