Illuminating ideas bringing the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals to life
Unlock The Real Japan combines Nikkei Asia’s renowned insight into the business world with Time Out Tokyo’s knowledge of city life, ensuring that visiting executives can experience all sides of Japan.
This special site looks at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), urgent calls for action issued by the UN with a target of completing them by 2030. With seven years to go there is work to do, and on this site we highlight Japan’s approach to doing so. Some of the ideas we’ve featured, such as the sustainable approach at Ise Grand Shrine, have been centuries in the making. Others, including Taku Yamada’s plans to reimagine tourism are much newer. All are essential if we are to achieve the kind of world we want to live in.
