What can we do to improve the achievement of SDGs in the world? I guess it’s important to improve that in Japan at first, because according to this online training material, Japan’s average recognition of the SDGs is 49％ and it’s the lowest level. I would like to think about what the problems of achievement and what I can do especially in Japan.
The first problem is knowledge. In addition to low level of recognition, even if know the SDGs, they only know just words, and I used to be the same. From this online training, I learned a lot of it and I realize I knew little about it. I could learn the detail of SDGs such as the figure or examples. The figure of real situation has most impact for me, because the figure is easy to imagine the real situation. I surprised the situation many times in this online training. I think the knowledge of SDGs, especially in detail are lack for many people in current situation.
The second problem is atmosphere. In the class of Inquiry, our group made an idea of notebook contest which is connect to donate for refugee. However, we were said we have to shift our plan for more fashionable to get cooperation from company. We could understand making profits is important thing for company, but we were confused, because the education problem of refugee is more serious by coronavirus even if it not fashionable. The number of refugees is increase about 11.2 million during 2020, according to The UN Refugee Agency. Through this experience, I think the atmosphere of Japanese society is not enough to solving the problems in the world and supporting the new idea or system.
The third problem is coronavirus. This spreading of coronavirus influences a lot for our life, including SDGs. From the online training material, the achievement of SDGs become more difficult, for example, poverty is more increase by losing job and also digital gap can be widen the educational gap, and Japan is no exception. In the world, inequality of vulnerable countries and rich countries are more widen. Despite of its fact, the advertisement or information of SDGs are declining on TV or website and instead coronavirus news are on it.
Solving these problems are important, but it is impossible to solve only myself, so I want to take following three steps to solve it.
First one is keep moving actively to know the information. Because of moving active like searching or decide to take lesson, I can absorb the information more and make it my own, like this online training. Moreover, since I saw different aspects of many things, some of it are weak point, thanks for coronavirus situation, I could think new social issues or business ideas. We can take the advantage of the coronavirus situation to achieve goals.
Second step is taking action. Just learning is nothing create, so I need to do it. Also, I realized that the experience of taking action led to confidence. In online volunteer activity, I was nervous at first, but when I finish the activity, I could feel confidence of taking action.
Final step is telling other people of my experience and get feedback. I guess one of the best ways to solve the problems is spreading the information or experience to the other. Recently, the world became smaller than ever. For instance, coronavirus is spreading so fast around the world. It’s shows us the world is more nearly and connect easily. If we can use the advantage of the small world, we can spread information, experiences and ideas easily and make cooperation. So from now on, I will tell my experiences to people, at first cross people, then expand the circle of movement. Even if the circles are small and it’s not enough to cause the big change in the world, these circles will help us to achievement the goals little by little.
Furthermore, I would like to keep taking actions after 2030, the goal of SDGs, because I empathize with a person’s words “SDGs are not goals but one of the tools to solve the world problems.” I will keep taking actions for solve the problems of the world even if the steps are small and faces a lot difficulties.
