Yokohama National University Declaration on SDGs
Endorsing “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” (adopted by the United Nations in September 2015), and rediscovering the roles it should play as a university to help achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) laid out in the agenda by taking into account the activities of national and local governments, businesses and other players related to the SDGs, Yokohama National University hereby declares that it will promote university-wide initiatives oriented towards achieving the SDGs in its educational and research activities based on the principles: “Be Active,” “Be Innovative,” “Be Open” and “Be Global,” as enshrined in its charter. Yokohama National University will also widely practice and communicate the results, both inside and outside Japan, including business-academia collaboration, regional partnership and international cooperation.
