Los Angeles (AFP) - The US state of Hawaii has reached an historic agreement in response to litigation by youth activists, promising to speed up the de-carbonization of its transport sector to protect their right to a safe and healthy climate. Thirteen young people from across the islands brought the case in June 2022, arguing that their constitutional rights to a life-sustaining climate were being violated. They asked the state government to take action to implement its goals of net negative emissions in the transport system by 2045. "The passion demonstrated by these young people in advocati...

Youth climate activists have won a "historic" settlement in Hawaii. The lawsuit was the world's first youth-led constitutional climate case seeking to address climate pollution from the transportation sector. It alleged that the US state violated the constitution by operating a transport system that harmed the climate and infringed upon the children's right to a clean and healthy environment. The activists asked the state government to take action and shift to a climate-safe, zero-emissions transportation system. Hawaii's governor and lawyers for the youth plaintiffs announced that the case wa...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The number of people thought to have died in the fast-moving wildfire that tore through part of Hawaii last month dropped Friday, as authorities revised their figures. The state's governor, Josh Green, said scientists sorting through remains now believed that 97 people had perished in Lahaina, down from a previous official toll of 115. "That number dropped a little bit because the Department of Defense and all of their physical anthropologists were able to help us discern better who was in cars or in houses," Green said in a Facebook video. "So thank God, fewer people have ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The head of Maui's emergency management agency -- who said this week he did not regret the decision to not sound powerful warning sirens as a deadly wildfire ripped through the Hawaiian town of Lahaina -- resigned Thursday. Herman Andaya had come under criticism for not activating the island-wide network as fast-moving flames bore down on the city, with survivors saying they had no warning of the blaze. Many of those who were killed are believed to have been trapped in their homes or caught in their cars as they made a desperate last-minute bid to escape. At least 111 peopl...

Kahului (United States) (AFP) - President Joe Biden will head to Hawaii next week to meet with survivors of a horrific wildfire and first responders still hunting for bodies, the White House said Wednesday as the first victims of the tragedy were named. Last week's fire levelled the historic town of Lahaina on the island of Maui and was the deadliest in the United States in more than a century. The death toll of 106 is expected to rise over the coming days. Only five victims have been identified so far, two of whom were named by Maui County officials as Robert Dyckman, 74, and 79-year-old Budd...

Kahului (United States) (AFP) - Surrounded by flames on Hawaii's scenic Lahaina boardwalk with cars exploding in the heat around her, Annelise Cochran decided jumping into the sea was her only choice. "It was seconds. And it almost didn't feel like a decision that I was really making. Because there only seemed to be one option," Cochran told AFP six days after surviving a raging wildfire that destroyed the small resort community on Maui's west coast. The 30-year-old, an experienced swimmer who works for the non-profit organization Pacific Whale Foundation, lost neighbors and friends -- as well...
