KNOWLEDGE SHARING PANEL | JAPAN STAGE
HOST: UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME, UNITED NATIONS INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION
A recent study by the UNDP warns that the severe long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could push an additional 207 million people into extreme poverty, bringing the total to over 1 billion worldwide by 2030. With a focus set on investments towards the SDGs, however, 146 million people could be lifted out of extreme poverty. The pandemic has made us all reacknowledge the power of digitalization and innovation and indeed, has sped up their applications in public and private spheres. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cryptocurrency, virtual reality, the internet have proved their potential to advance and accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. On the other hand, the advancement of technologies will also trigger new challenges, as they can exacerbate inequalities. The increasing number of digital technologies available to the digital ‘haves’ further risks excluding the ‘have nots’—incliding the 3.5 billion people who still do not have internet access. It is vital to integrate new technologies into sustainable development strategies, with equality and equity as the guiding principles.
This session will examine how digital technologies and innovation can bring opportunities and values to those “furthest behind” and contribute to the SDGs, while addressing poverty and inequality. Speakers from across the world who have brought transformation to the people’s lives through the provision of internet access in Senegal, through the establishment of online value chains accessible via mobile phones in Nigeria, and through online agricultural advisory services in Ghana will discuss opportunities and challenges exacerbated by the pandemic, while exploring the future of development.
新型コロナウイルスの世界的流行による長期に亘っての深刻な影響により、新たに2億700万人、そして2030年までに合計で10億を超える人々が極度の貧困状態に陥るということがUNDPによる調査で明らかになりました。しかし、SDGsへの集中的な投資によって、1億4600万人を極度の貧困から救済することができます。より効果的で効率的にSDGs達成を目指すには社会に行動変容をもたらす必要があり、ブロードバンドへのアクセス、デジタル・技術分野のイノベーションが欠かせません。事実、コロナ禍でデジタル化とイノベーションの重要性が再認識され、公共・民間セクターの両方で技術の導入が進んでいます。
人工知能、ブロックチェーン、仮想通過、バーチャル・リアリティ、IoTといった技術が、SDGsの達成を加速できるという点は既に証明されています。他方で、技術の進展によって新たな不平等や格差が生じ、拡大しうるという新たな課題も指摘されています。デジタル化の恩恵を“受けている”人々がより多くのデジタル技術にアクセスできるようになるほど、例えばインターネットアクセスがない35億人の人々など、恩恵を“受けていない”人々が除外されるリスクが高まります。平等さと公正さを保ちながら、新たな技術をSDGsに統合していくことが必要です。
このセッションでは、デジタル技術とイノベーションが、いかにして手の届きにくい人たちに新たな価値や機会をもたらし、貧困や格差といった課題の解決を通じてSDGsに貢献しているのかを話し合います。セネガルの未電化地域でインターネットアクセスを可能にする、ナイジェリアでオンライン・バリューチェーンを確立する、ガーナでオンラインでの農業アドバイスを提供するなど、様々な形で人々の生活に革新をもたらした世界各国からの登壇者が、コロナ禍で見えてきた課題と可能性、そして開発の未来についての先見を共有します。

HOST: UNITED NATIONS INFORMATION CENTRE, TOKYO
The passion of young people, from voicing against gender inequality to calling for climate action and racial justice, is critical to bring transformation to societies. This is also the case with ensuring our peace and security, the most fundamental mission of the United Nations and the crosscutting cornerstone of the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda. Today it is estimated that there are 1.21 billion youth between 15 and 24 years of age on our planet, which accounts for 15.5 percent of the global population. “Young people, the largest generation in history, have a critical role to play in raising awareness and developing new approaches to bring about change to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction and conventional arms, including their proliferation,” said the Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Ms. Izumi Nakamitsu. Inspiring everyday people to take action to change the world and mobilize civic voices into policy dialogues are an imperative way forward for a more sustainable and peaceful future for all. In this session, four youth peace champions from South Sudan, Iraq, Japan and the United States will bring diverse perspectives together to discuss the role of youth in passing on stories of resilience beyond generations and beyond boundaries. They will present their innovative projects with an out-of-the-box thinking making use of AI, ICT, art and music, while sharing their personal stories that have motivated them to take those approaches. The United Nations Under-Secretary-General, Ms. Nakamitsu will share her thoughts regarding youth leadership and her views on channeling young voices into policy. Ms. Tomoko Kubota, News Editor of Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), passionate about promoting peace and disarmament agenda through passing on oral history, will moderate.

KNOWLEDGE SHARING PANEL | JAPAN STAGE
HOST: UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME
The world’s major countries are moving towards a goal of decarbonization by 2050. What can we do in our daily lives to tackle the climate change issues that are threatening our planet? A critical piece of the puzzle in achieving a decarbonized society by 2050 is to shift our consumer society to a recycling society. In other words, we should create a society where we recycle the resources that we use rather than extracting non-renewable resources from our earth. In this session, speakers from diverse backgrounds—from environmental experts to a comedian to a youth athlete—will discuss what we can do in our daily lives to combat climate change and achieve SDG12 by transforming waste into valuable resources.

HOST: JAPAN CIVIL SOCIETY NETWORK ON SDGS & UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Gender equality is a basic human right and a critical foundation for a sustainable world. It is also an accelerator for other goals, including economic growth, reduction of poverty and hunger, and good health and education. There has been some progress in gender equality over the last decades; more girls are going to school and more women are in parliament. Despite this progress discriminatory laws and social norms, as well as physical or sexual violence, remain pervasive.
Moreover, the COVID-19 crisis could reverse this limited, but important, progress on women’s rights. The pandemic has witnessed more women than men losing their means of income. The burden of unpaid care work at home for children, the elderly and the sick has increased. With lockdown measures, a “shadow pandemic” of violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, has intensified.
At this critical juncture, this session explores 4 key targets of SDG5 and discusses bold actions towards 2030:
-How can we end violence against women and girls, especially in conflict settings, and promote women’s roles in peacemaking? (Target 5.2)
-How can we eliminate harmful traditions and practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation? (Target 5.3)
-Globally, women’s representation in politics, the economy and public decision-making arenas remains low. How can we enhance women’s leadership? (Target 5.5)
-How can we ensure sexual and reproductive health and rights, so that individuals are able to lead a life based on their own freedom and choices, including those related to bearing children and ensuring a safe pregnancy and delivery? (Target 5.6)
The session will also touch upon the issue of “intersectionality,” the way in which multiple forms of inequality and discrimination, based on gender, race, disability, etc, often overlap with and exacerbate one another.
Today, not a single country can claim to have achieved gender equality, however it is gaining momentum. Let’s gear up to turn this movement into progress.

KNOWLEDGE SHARING PANEL | JAPAN STAGE
HOST: UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME, UNITED NATIONS HUMAN SETTLEMENTS PROGRAMME
The SDGs emphasize that people and countries should work together to create a world where no one is left behind. Achieving the 17 Global Goals requires efforts at all levels, not just at the state level, but also in the public and private sectors. For countries and communities to fulfill the SDGs while solving inherent challenges in an integrated manner, it is important to have a vision reflecting the uniqueness of local contexts. “Localization of SDGs” is one of such approaches for setting goals that correspond to issues in each community. The importance of this “bottom-up” approach led by local governments, communities, and residents has been globally recognized. With the COVID-19 pandemic, community-centered response has become increasingly important. With the restriction of movement due to the pandemic and the mainstreaming of tele-commuting, people have become more attentive to their communities. As the pandemic has increased the importance of promoting local production and consumption, which is impacting traditional supply chains and has devastated the local economy – especially the food service and tourism industries, every country, local region, and community is urged to establish a comprehensive vision for “building back better”. There are many examples of communities around the world that have demonstrated resilience while uniting and supporting each other during the pandemic. In this session, the panelists will introduce activities in their respective fields and their contributions to sustainable development. We hope this session will provide an opportunity for the global audience to discuss community development and SDGs, and to be motivated to start actions for tomorrow.
