Follow-up and review (http://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/singi/sdgs/dai2/siryou1e.pdf) Science community (Provisional translation) (http://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/singi/sdgs/dai2/siryou1e.pdf) Science, technology and innovation (STI) is one of the priority areas of the guiding principles and an essential element for the attainment of targets. The Government of Japan will effectively use STI to implement a range of related measures, including enhanced international cooperation, and to solve emerging issues in a swift and flexible manner. It will also strengthen scientific analysis and evidence in setting and monitoring appropriate indicators to achieve the SDGs, analyze synergy and offset effects among the implemented measures, and take actions based on scientific analysis in the follow-up and review process. To this end, the government will foster systematic cooperation and collaboration with the scientific community in Japan as well as international initiatives such as Future Earth.
