What are SDGs and Music for SDGs?

What are SDGs?
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations(UN) aiming to achieve 17 goals by 2030 for a sustainable, equitable, andinclusive society with no one left behind as a keyword.
All UN member countries are asked to work together through public(government) and private (corporations and citizens) partnership to achieve
this goal. It is a common global language for sustainable society.
。

How music can help promote SDGs?

While a number of papers and meetings provide high-quality education for those who are alreadyinformed and motivated on SDGs, most general public are still not aware of SDGs or interested in
the subjects. We aim to provide opportunities for general public to learn about SDGs in an easierand enjoyable way through musical and music concerts integrating entertainment and education.
What makes Music for SDGs Project unique?
The project director is a global policy advisor who chairs working groups to promotesustainable development in the Asia-Pacific and collaborates with the UN, OECD, and APEC
to promote SDGs. The project will be reported to the UN and the Japanese Government.
Some events may take place at UN Head Quarters. Our initiative is also well received by theJapanese Government committed to SDGs and aims to support G20 2019 Japan, TICAD
2019, Tokyo Olympics & Paralympics 2021, as well as Osaka Expo 2025.
