Kahea Pacheco (Kanaka ʻŌiwi) is a passionate advocate for Indigenous rights AND climate justice. She champions the concept of aloha 'āina (love of the land), believing that effective solutions to the climate crisis are rooted in time-tested Indigenous knowledge.

As Co-Executive Director at Women's Earth Alliance—a 19-year-old global initiative that empowers women to protect the environment—Kahea works to ensure a just AND thriving world. She notes that in 'Ōlelo Hawai'i, the word <'āina (land) also means "that which feeds us" AND was used by her ancestors to mean "family," reinforcing the view that the natural world is a living, nurturing member of our community.
