Partnerships for Sustainable Development
• The Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs), adopted in Sep 2015 by UN member states, to address urgent global challenges.
• Key 5 elements ( or “5Ps” )to achieve SDGs are:
People working together for the Planet through formingPartnership to promotePeace and bring aboutProsperity

IPSI’s Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)IPSI Case Studies
SDG
• Although most IPSI case studies started before SDGs(2015), they are mainly relevant to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Productions), 15 (Life on Land), 2 (Zero Hunger) & 8(Decent Work & Economic Growth) & 1 (No Poverty)
• Need to address explicitly and link activities to SDGs
The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)
• An intergovernmental platform that scientifically evaluates trends related to biodiversity and ecosystem services, and strengthens the connection between science and policy
• Established in 2012, 130 member countries
• 4 complementary areas of work: scientific assessments; building capacity & knowledge; communications & outreach; and policy support
• Based on work plan 2014 - 2018, with the participation of experts all over the world, aim to publish 18 deliverables
• So far, published thematic evaluation reports on pollinators and land degradation, methodological evaluation report on scenario models, 4 regional evaluation reports on Asia and Oceania, Africa, the Americas, Europe and Central Asia

Description on SDGs and Biodiversity Conservation
Key Messages (excerpts)
To achieve SDGs, social infrastructure needs to be developed, but this needs to be realized without compromising harmony with nature.
Countries that are steadily economically developing are progressing in setting up nature reserves in order, and in these countries, they are doing well for achieving SDGS.
By mainstreaming biodiversity into development policies, plans and programs, we can strengthen our efforts towards achieving both Aichi objectives and SDGs.
Biodiversity and SDGs have synergistic and reciprocal actions. Ecosystem-based integrated approaches such as ecosystem-based adaptation measures, disaster prevention and mitigation and sustainable forest and grassland management can contribute to achieving multiple goals.
Waste management methods and land contamination, air pollution, and water pollution are impediments to the Aichi objectives and efforts towards many goals listed by the SDGs.
Fundamentally emphasises that SDGs and Aichi Targets should be accomplished at the same time Meanwhile, there are contents that require development such as infrastructure development to
achieve SDGs, but there is a trade-off between such cases and biodiversity conservation. so by combining social development and nature, biodiversity need to seek synergistic effect between conservation and achievement of SDGs 12

Direction of the Fifth Basic Environment Plan
1. Utilizing the concepts of SDGs, realizing the Integrated Improvements on Environment, Economy and Society (II2ES)○Taking environmental policies as opportunities, create innovations across all perspectives
→ Simultaneous solutions for economic, regional and international challenges→"New avenues for growth" that ensure quality of life is maintained into the future
2. Maximize the sustainable use of regional resources for improvements in economic and social activities○Focus on maintenance and development of regions →Enriching regions through environment!
3. Partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders○Enriching and strengthening partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders
Basic Approach
1. Creation of a “Regional Circular and Ecological Sphere (Regional CES)”
2. Establishment of “Japan as a global exemplary model “ ※ Possible because of 1) history of overcoming pollution, 2) excellent environmental technologies, 3) spirit of circulation“Mottainai” and tradition of living in harmonywith nature
3. Building a sustainable, circulation and symbiosis based society "Environmental and Life Centered Civilized Society"
What Does a Future Society Look Like?
○Each region demonstrates its strengths by utilizing its unique characteristics →Makes use of regional resources and builds a self-reliant and
decentralized society→Complements and supports according to unique characteristics of each
region

“Environment Future City” extended to “SDGs Future City” (Integrative improvement of economy, society and environment)
1.Environment Future City (till 2016)
• Reducing depopulation• Reduced demographic movements
(migration and immigration), immigration even increased in recent 5 years
• Self-sufficiency in renewable energy up to 45%
• Individual residential tax revenue in 2016 increased by 16.1% compared to 2010
→Budding success of sustainable communities
Stepping up by including SDGs
Sustainable Communities• City that everyone wants to live in• City that everyone is energetic
2.SDGs Future City (from 2018)
• Forging ahead midterm challenges→ Design and implement sustainable communities incorporating SDGs by 2030• Realizing “Sustainable communities” in
Shimokawa town is contributing to achieving SDGs
→ As national model case in regional revitalization• Making use of SDGs as tool for community
rejuvenation→Common ruler of community (Future vision, Targets)→Increase attractiveness and potential, attract talent and funds

· Nature experience program reception
· Explanation of the connection of the forest, river & sea
· Research on natural environment etc
※Collaborating with the Michinoku
Seaside Trail and targeting foreigners,
leading to revitalization of the area
Function of Site Facilities
Learning about the connection of the forest, river & sea(Example)
Creation of an area to experience “the Forest, Land, River & Sea Connection” 17
· Nature learning about forests and rivers that support the rich sea through aquaculture experience· Learning continuous ecosystems of sea, river and forest by observing spawning and salmon of salmon· Mountain management activities and experiences of making rafts using mountain wood· Experience the connection of the forests, river and sea through canoeing downstream the Kitakami River etc

THE SEVENTH IPSI GLOBAL CONFERENCE (IPSI-7) PUBLIC FORUM:
Assessing Satoyama Initiative’s Contribution towards Aichi Biodiversity Targets & SDGs
How can IPSI:
• better assess and capture our contributions so far towards ABT and SDGs?
• stay relevant in post 2020 for biodiversity conservation?
• enhance our contributions to global goals?
