[Overview]
The 2023 SDGs Symposium will explore intersections between cities and nature, both in terms of how cities and urban activities affect nature, as well as how nature can help solve urban challenges.
We wish to take this opportunity to invite renowned researchers from Japan and abroad, as well as students and young researchers, working at the interface of cities, nature, and other SDGs to actively discuss how research can explain these multifaceted phenomena and develop solutions with high societal relevance and impact.
We look forward to your participation in this event.
