Summary

This research paper investigates the consequences of climate change on Native Hawaiians, emphasizing its impact on the state's housing crisis. The engaging hook presents Samantha DeCorte's concerns about fire hazards in Waianae, highlighting the growing threat posed by climate change. Native Hawaiians, already grappling with housing challenges, face disproportionate effects from climate-induced disasters, hindering their ability to rebuild or relocate. The study explores climate gentrification, specifically the displacement of Native Hawaiian populations, and underscores the urgency of understanding and addressing these interconnected challenges. Utilizing content analysis and a mix of primary and secondary sources, the research aims to raise awareness, identify common themes, and propose solutions for the well-being of Native Hawaiians.
