For Realization of the SDGs

Working to realize a sustainable future together with Japan and the world

Tokyo Sustainability Action 2023, a publication that outlines the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s initiatives and approaches for realization of the SDGs, was released on July 13, 2023.

This is an updated edition of the 2021 publication, which was formulated based on Future Tokyo: Tokyo’s Long-Term Strategy. It was prepared as a Voluntary Local Review (VLR), an international initiative in which local governments voluntarily review their measures and progress to achieve the SDGs, and submit a public report on the results of the review to the United Nations.

By participating in international conferences, promoting Tokyo’s efforts abroad, and other activities, Tokyo not only shares its initiatives with the cities of the world, international organizations, and others, but also studies SDG-related trends worldwide for reflection in Tokyo’s policies. In this way, Tokyo is working to achieve the shared international goals set forth in the SDGs.

Tokyo is actively exchanging opinions with those involved with SDG-related efforts around the world, including hosting sessions that focus on the VLR at UN organized events.
