Report on the 2020 SDGs Lectures Beginning Today

We asked about the outline of the SDGs.

First half
　While explaining each of the 17 goals set forth in the SDGs, what goals emerged in the short films screened in Part 1 corresponded to, and multiple goals were resolved at the same time by solving one problem. He told me specifically that he was led to a solution.
　The fact that it was a short film created on the theme of SDGs alone became clear little by little, and I deepened my understanding of the 17 goals.

I learned while looking at the materials.

Next, we asked about an example of "from snacks to global warming" as a familiar problem around them.
　　In order to make snacks that companies offer in large quantities at low prices, they use a large amount of palm oil. In order to obtain a large amount of palm oil, the vast land made by burning the jungle into palm palm fields.
　The loss of the jungle that turned carbon dioxide into oxygen causes global warming and changes the climate of the region. Then the grains grown in the area will no longer grow, and the family will lose their work and income. If you are in need of living, you will not be able to go to school because you will not be able to go to school and lose the opportunity to learn, and you will not be able to even receive school lunches, which were a source of nutrition.
　Behind the distribution of snacks sold in large quantities at low prices, I realized that the numerical value of multiple SDGs goals has been reduced.
　This does not apply only to snacks. What about the eco-bag promotion activity that started in July this year in Japan? On the other hand, what seems to be a good idea may be to create new challenges from a different perspective.
　In this way, the problem solving was not a jigsaw puzzle type that was completed by combining them one by one, but it was easy to understand if it was regarded as a rubic cube type in which everything was linked.
　In the first half of the course, I learned to think from a broad perspective to achieve the 17 goals of the SDGs.

I thought about what I could do.

The second half
　　The second half of the course began with the importance of establishing SDGs initiatives as a business in order to permeate society, and that many companies are already working on it.
　People, goods, regions, and attitudes involved in the series of processes in which companies create and sell products. By purchasing goods, we may be making someone unhappy somewhere in the world or complimenting a chain that destroys the earth. From 100 steps per person, 100 steps per person. By changing the consciousness of individuals, we can change countries and companies. To do so, I realized that it is necessary for as many people as possible to know, learn, and take action on the SDGs.

　On the stage, the poet Kathy Jetonil-Kiziner read a poem at the opening ceremony of the United Nations Climate Change Summit in 2014.
Kiziner, who lives on a beautiful small island in the Marshall Islands, speaks to her baby, his daughter. His mother pledged that his hometown island was in danger of submersion due to global warming, that the world did not face it seriously, and that his sleeping child had a strong determination to use all means to protect his hometown. And the reading was over.
　Lastly, Mr. Shimada introduced the number of abuses and poverty currently placed by Japanese children, and asked, "What do you start for this future town for future children?" The lecture was concluded with the question.
