The Department of Philosophy presents "Wayfinding Across the Pacific: Traditional Navigation & Voyages of Hokule'a", taking place tomorrow at 2:30. Please check the link below for location, and plan to join in the riveting conversation! https://hawaii.edu/phil/events-media/

The ancient Polynesians explored and settled on the islands of the Pacific, navigation across thousands of kilometers of open water. Using stars as a compass, and carefully observing the patterns of ocean swells, wind, clouds, weather, and wildlife, they could navigate their path without using any instruments. In 1975, a voyaging Hokule'a was built to revive this art of ancient wayfinding. In this presentation, the traditional navigation method and experience from the actual voyages of Hokule'a will be introduced.

The session is titled, "Pacific Islands Hospitals: Improving Critical Infrastructure Resilience" with Dr. Eileen Natuzzi.

Dr. Eileen Natuzzi examines the vulnerability of Pacific Island country hospitals. The COP27 Loss and Damage Fund agreement was a celebrated win for Pacific Island Countries (PICs). They are within the most at-risk region worldwide due to being subject to regular extreme weather events. Adaptation funding has not adequately addressed preventing risk and loss. In 2016 the World Risk Report defined critical infrastructure as essential adaptation to address in order to reduce both human and economic losses due to risk vulnerability. The sectors that make up critical infrastructure include “health”, which straddles two adaptation sectors: hardscape infrastructure which includes hospitals and conventional health delivery. Hospitals have historically been seen as investments in health. Vulnerable Pacific Island hospitals that lack the luxury of redundancy of services while serving populations of people living on atolls and isolated islands need to be seen as critical infrastructure. This analysis looks at 78 hospitals located in 14 Pacific Island Countries through the lens of climate change critical infrastructure adaptation.
