UNU-IAS and the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) will co-organize the Eighth International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP2016) “Translating Knowledge into Actions towards 2030 and beyond” on 12–13 July 2016 in Yokohama, Japan.
ISAP is an annual two-day forum that brings together frontline experts and stakeholders from international organizations, governments, businesses and NGOs to discuss sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific.
The international community achieved two historic agreements in the field of sustainable development last year: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the “Paris Agreement” to deal with climate change, as a result of long-standing international negotiations. ISAP2016 will invite discussions on how we can ensure effective implementation of these two agreements at international, national and local/community levels, under the theme of “Translating Knowledge into Actions towards 2030 and beyond” to promote sustainable actions going forward.
This event will be held in English and Japanese with simultaneous interpretation.
