The ambitious goal of a poverty-free and sustainable society by 2030 has been forced by Corona to make a major setback, and the crisis of "global limits" such as climate change and biodiversity loss has not been awaited. ..

Together, the risks the world faces are much greater than they were when the SDGs began. 2023 is the year in which Japan will chair the G7, and there will be a UN UHC High-Level Meeting. What do we need to prepare for the SDGs mid-year?
