Did you know about SDGs?
The SDGs are international development goals to be achieved by 2030 that were adopted at the 2015 United Nations Summit.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) consist of 17 goals and 169 targets, and are universal goals that all countries, including both developing and developed countries, are working towards, with the aim of achieving them by 2030 with "no one left behind."
The SDGs are international goals that were unanimously adopted at the United Nations Summit held in September 2015. They will be implemented from 2016 to 2030. They consist of 17 goals and 169 targets that serve as specific targets for realizing a sustainable world. In Japan, the "SDGs Action Plan 2019" was adopted in December 2016 as a way to achieve these goals in a way that is uniquely Japanese. Eight areas have been decided as priority areas.
❶ Promoting the active participation of all people ❷ Achieving good health and longevity ❸ Creating growth markets, revitalizing local communities, and promoting scientific and technological innovation ❹ Developing a sustainable and resilient nation and high-quality infrastructure ❺ Energy conservation and renewable energy, climate change countermeasures, and a circular economy ❻ Conserving the environment, including biodiversity, forests, and the oceans ❼ Peace, safety, and security ❽ Structure and means for promoting the implementation of the SDGs The 17 SDGs are interrelated and aim to solve each other's problems at the same time. The food and beverage industry can also support the realization of a sustainable society that the world is aiming for by addressing issues such as achieving sustainable marine fisheries, reducing food waste and packaging waste, fair trade in ingredients, and reviewing working styles.
