Introduction of the JAXA’s Basic Policy on the Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

Since the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the United Nations in 2015, JAXA has been contributing to the Goals through various activities. In March 2022, JAXA established the basic policy on SDGs in order to make its contribution in an even more organizational and strategic manner. This paper outlines JAXA’s major activities contributing to the SDGs and introduces the main contents of the basic policy on SDGs, including vision, mission statement, and prioritized areas for contribution. It also touches upon the background of the establishment of the basic policy and the way forward.
