Hokkaido University’ s Commitment to Advance
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a shared global vision for peace and prosperity—for people and the planet, now and into the future. They call on all of us to take collective action on urgent social, economic, and environmental challenges, recognizing that sustainable progress depends on harmony among all.
Hokkaido University advances this vision guided by its founding principles of Frontier Spirit, Global Perspective, All-Round Education, and Practical Learning, and by its ideal to contribute to the everlasting peace and welfare of humankind.
Through research that deepens understanding, education that empowers future generations, and partnerships that bridge disciplines, regions, and nations, the University strives to realize a sustainable and inclusive society. From the rich natural environment of Hokkaido to collaborations around the world, Hokkaido University continues to create knowledge that links people, society, and nature, embodying its enduring aspiration to pursue peace, progress, and the well-being of humanity.
