The 1st International SDGs Forum and the 2nd Open Forum “Connecting to the World” was held
The 1st International SDGs Forum and the 2nd Open Forum “Connecting to the World” organized by the Engineering Academy of Japan SDGs Project was held in IUJ on January 28th, 2018. IUJ co-organized the event. The morning sessions focus on the financial issues associated with SDGs. Associate Professor of Finance at IUJ, Haruyoshi Ito delivered the opening remarks and presented overview of SDGs finance scheme in Japan and all over the world. 2nd year Master student at GSIM in IUJ, Moses Ayuk Bate presented SDGs Implementation in an Evolving Global Development Finance Landscape. He summarized the financial SDGs situation in Africa. Dr. Zin Zhou of Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) presented the “SDG Interlinkages and Social Network Analysis: Finance in SDGs”. She showed the methodologies which could be utilized to establish the financial scheme and indicators to enhance the achievement of SDGs in Japan.
In the afternoon, President Itami gave welcome remarks. Associate Professor Ito delivered the opening remarks in lieu of Professor Kitagawa at Aoyama Gakuin University. Dr. Haruo Takeda presented the possible collaborations among industry, academia, and government for SDGs. After that 11 IUJ students representing 9 countries (Senegal, Uzbekistan, Myanmar, Vietnam, South Africa, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar) presented about the 7 SDGs (No Poverty, Quality of Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Industry
Innovation and Infrastructure, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).
After the presentations, all participants form groups associated with each goal and discuss about 1. Real issues in their countries, 2. What are the possible solutions, and 3. How Japanese
Corporations/Institutions could help with these issues? All groups had active and fruitful discussions. Japanese participants looked happy with the interaction with IUJ students and said they were able to understand the real issues and how we could establish the effective financial scheme. We do hope this opportunity is a great initiative and first step to connect the world and achieve 17 SDGs.
This forum was organized with help of the Engineering Academy of Japan, Study Group of Innovation for Value Creation, staff from Hitachi Corporations, IUJ staff, faculty, and students. Special thanks given to all of IM and IR council listed below. Thank you very much for all of your support.
