Inaugural Symposium for the Institute for Future Initiatives, the University of Tokyo: "Imaging a Sustainable Future: SDGs and the Future of Academic Research"

Date March 8, 2019
Venue Ito Hall in the Ito International Research Center, Hongo Campus, the University of Tokyo
Overview In April 2019, the Policy Alternatives Research Institute and Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science will be combined to form the Institute for Future Initiatives.
On the occasion of the inauguration of this new Institute, we will be holding an international conference with the title “Imaging a Sustainable Future: SDGs and the Future of Academic Research”.
While the UN has proposed a set of goals for creating a sustainable world in the form of SDGs, we nonetheless observe nations to enact policies biased toward protecting their own interests rather than responding to contemporary global issues.
In light of this, we would like to consider how academic research organizations can address transnational issues thorough the symposium.

Date February 1, 2019
Venue Sanjo Conf. Hall, Hongo Campus, the University of Tokyo

It has been ten years since the National Governors' Association revealed this in its fiscal 2008 survey on municipal disaster prevention policy. Japan has repeatedly experienced grievous disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake. Now, how much are the perspectives of gender equality and diversity reflected in disaster prevention and disaster reduction policy?
The survey in FY 2017 was conducted for all prefectures and all municipalities, in cooperation with the Gender Equality Bureau Cabinet Office and the National Governors' Association. We will elucidate the current situation from the results of the survey and look into future issues.
