The NPO Aoyama Design Forum (ADF) has participated in the SDGs for Regional Revitalization Public-Private Partnership Platform established by the Cabinet Office with the aim of promoting efforts toward SDGs.
The "SDGs for Regional Revitalization Public-Private Partnership Platform" aims to promote the domestic implementation of SDGs by the Cabinet Office. It is a platform established in 2018 as a place for public-private partnership. As of the end of January 2021, 4,558 organizations have participated it.
The SDGs has 17 goals, 169 targets and 232 indicators to measure project achievement to create a “sustainable world”. With the goals, a wide range of stakeholders will have a common language for regional revitalization, the understanding of project goals and rational cooperation.
Regional revitalization aims to halt the declining birthrate and aging population, overcome the declining population and shrinking regional economy, and secure future growth. For local regions to secure growth potential in the future, sustainable urban development and regional vitalization will be significant.
ADF will promote further collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders in line with the SDGs' principals of “ "8 Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all" and "11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable".
