From the start, lavish plantings have graced its outdoor spaces. Coconut palms growing up through specially designed light wells and the monkeypod trees planted along Ala Moana Boulevard date from the s. In conjunction with the third-level construction, the mall's landscaping was revamped by PBR Hawaii to incorporate more native plants, including hapuu tree ferns, ilima, kou, taro, banana, ohia, kukui, koa, and breadfruit. As one moves from Macy's to Sears, the plantings shift from coastal to mountain varieties.
The center was also one of the first public spaces in Hawaii to be adorned with modern sculpture. Many of these works have not withstood the test of time; however, Bumpei Akaji's Manu Lewalani has found a home nestled among the plantings on the mall level, and Edward Brownlee's two-ton, bronze, freeform sculpture, originally designed for children to climb, is now embedded in stone and concrete on the mall level's mauka side.

Climate change increases the probability and duration of flood risks caused by changes to local weather patterns such as increased rainfall during wet seasons; increased chance of hurricanes and storms caused by changes to regional weather cycles like the North Pacific High; rising sea levels and tides; and the possible increase earthquakes related to global shifts caused by climate change.
Inequality and Disparity Risks and catastrophe, like massive recurring flood events, pose immense financial losses that range from hundreds of millions of dollars into the billions. While the economic stability of business and hotels are often the focus of politically led initiatives to fund climate change initiatives, among the most overlooked and marginalized factors in this discussion is often overlooked: the impact of climate change for people living in poverty.
Aforementioned pollution issues aside, residents living closest to Waikiki have a higher chance of claiming poverty than anywhere else in the Ala Wai watershed, in addition to living in areas where the risk for environmental catastrophe is the highest. Market failures occur where there exists an inability for landowners to adequately protect streams and manage stormwater runoff as part of the mountain and ocean ecosystem.
The existing proximities between schools and streams present strategic and innovative opportunities to create an immersive place-based curriculum that combines knowledge with the lived experiences of students and their teachers.
Restored Public Health and Safety Public health and safety mean clean streams and ocean public health and flood control and climate change resilience public safety. Stormwater reduction, filtration, and control are crucial to mitigate pollution and flood risks, and represent tactical strategies to restore and perpetuate public health and safety. Because of the immense regional scale at which flooding and pollution occur, a combination of tactics from stream retrofits to vegetative swales to seasonal flood parks are needed.
Stream retrofits, for example, include updating stream channels with newer technologies such as low-flow channels, vegetative buffers, and integrated retention ponds that slow, absorb, and filter stormwater eventually reaching the ocean via the Ala Wai Canal. Stream retrofits should not be mistaken for ecological restoration, as the appropriate design, engineering, and construction of urbanized streams are the primary element of any legitimate flood control system.
