  • Hokkaido, Japan’s efforts towards SDGs

    Hokkaido, Japan’s efforts towards SDGs
    Aug 7 2024
    "Have you ever heard of the SDGs? SDGs stand for Sustainable Development Goals, and they're a collection of 17 global goals set to be achieved by 2030. These goals cover everything from ending poverty to protecting our planet, all with the aim of creating a better world for everyone. Today, I want to talk about how these SDGs are connected to the small towns in rural Japan. In many parts of rural Japan, the population has been declining. Fewer job opportunities and limited access to amenities have contributed to this trend. But there's a bright side to this story. The SDGs offer valuable solutions to these challenges. Take the town of Shimokawa in Hokkaido, for instance. This town, covered mostly by forests, has found a unique way to revitalize itself. They've adopted a sustainable forest management system, where they not only harvest trees but also replant and nurture new ones. They've even started generating electricity from the forest, making their efforts environmentally friendly. As a result, young people are returning to Shimokawa to find work. It's as if the forest is nurturing the town, and the town is nurturing the forest. The story of Shimokawa teaches us that even small steps can make a big difference, especially when we work together. Let's all do our part to contribute to achieving the SDGs."
