NEW YORK - Governor Josh Green today met with former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as he takes part in the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2025 Annual Meeting in New York.

Governor Green is joining leaders from around the world to discuss solutions for some of the most pressing global challenges, with a focus on resilience, health and equity.

He was a featured panelist in the session "Investing in Community Resilience," where he shared Hawai'i's perspective on strengthening communities through science-based policy, climate action, housing and equitable infrastructure.
