Hokkaido Prefecture, Hokkaido University, and JICA Hokkaido will co-host the "SDGs Hokkaido Practice and Exchange Seminar 2025" on October 20th.

 

With the 2030 deadline for achieving the SDGs in sight, and in order to envision a sustainable Hokkaido beyond that, a diverse range of actors, including companies, organizations, local governments, and Hokkaido residents, must work together to share and develop practical initiatives.

 

We are holding the "SDGs Hokkaido Practice and Exchange Seminar 2025," a forum where companies, organizations, local governments, and Hokkaido residents can come together to share examples of SDGs in practice and hints for new initiatives, while building friendships and deepening exchanges.

 

This seminar will further accelerate the promotion of the SDGs across Hokkaido through the presentation of specific action plans and interaction between participants. Please join us in realizing a sustainable society in Hokkaido.
