CLIMATE IN
Where internal action becomes external impact.

Carbon Inventorying Toolkit
Created to support internal climate action, this toolkit helps organizations in Hawaiʻi understand and quantify their own greenhouse gas emissions. With a step-by-step calculator and the Carbon Emissions Inventory Guidance Document, users can assess emissions from electricity, fuel, transportation, and refrigerants—laying the foundation for informed, organization-specific climate strategies.
Climate In is rooted in the belief that meaningful climate action begins within—inside organizations, institutions, and systems. While public commitments and policy advocacy are critical, the day-to-day decisions made within operations, culture, and leadership structures are just as impactful. Climate In focuses on helping organizations assess and reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions, build climate literacy among staff, and integrate sustainability into their internal practices and values. It offers tools, guidance, and peer learning to empower organizations to take ownership of their climate footprint.
More than just operational change, Climate In reflects a mindset: that organizations must align their internal actions with their external values. By doing so, they not only reduce their own impact but gain the credibility and confidence needed to lead in broader climate conversations. Climate In is where purpose meets practice—it’s the foundation for authentic, systemic climate leadership.
Carbon Inventory Guidance
Serving as the foundation for the Carbon Inventorying Toolkit, this guidance document provides clear, locally relevant instructions for estimating an organization’s greenhouse gas emissions. It explains key terms, emission sources, and calculation methods specific to Hawai‘i’s energy landscape. Designed to be used in tandem with the toolkit’s calculator, offering the context, rationale, and step-by-step clarity needed to complete a reliable carbon inventory.
Decarbonization Toolkit
Taking the next step after emissions inventorying, this toolkit equips organizations with practical pathways to reduce their internal carbon footprint. By focusing on efficiency, electrification, renewables, and procurement, it aligns with the Climate In initiative’s goal of embedding climate action into day-to-day operations and long-term planning.
Climate Legislation Tracker
By tracking climate-related legislation, this tool helps organizations align their internal efforts with external policy shifts. While primarily a policy resource, it also supports the Climate In initiative by keeping teams informed of relevant state-level developments that may influence or enhance their internal climate commitments.
