He Huliau i ka Pono is a two-day educational and advocacy training conference for physicians and healthcare providers. Our main purpose is to address climate change issues in our Pacific communities.

This conference is hosted and sponsored by the ‘Ahahui o nā Kauka (Association of Native Hawaiian Physicians) and co-sponsored by the National Council for Asian Pacific Islander Physicians (NCAPIP), Papa Ola Lōkahi, and the John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

Learning objectives. At the completion of the activity learners should be better able to:

• Describe the impacts of climate change to health and health equity.
• List at least two climate related health impacts on their patients.
• Discuss climate change impacts with patients to assist them in being better prepared to respond to, and recover from, adverse impacts of climate change including climate related disasters and severe weather.
• Utilize tools and maps that show environmental vulnerabilities and communities at increased risks (UH, NOAA, State of Hawai‘i, etc) and can assist with community resiliency.
• Demonstrate advocacy for patients and communities when addressing climate change issues locally, nationally and internationally.

Hawai‘i and the Pacific are adversely impacted by climate change and global warming. In addition, we know that on the topic of climate change, physicians and healthcare providers are trusted voices. Physicians must increase their advocacy efforts to best prepare patients and communities to be more resilient.

Day 1, Saturday, January 11, will be held at Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, 2645 Dole St, UH Mānoa. Parking in nearby garage, Zone 22.

Day 2, Sunday morning, January 12, features a choice of two different sites to highlight community successes. The Sunday afternoon advocacy program will be held at the Medical Education Building of the John A. Burns School of Medicine. 651 ‘Ilalo St, Kaka‘ako Makai. Free street parking.
