一般社団法人グローバル・コンパクト・ネットワーク・ジャパン（以下GCNJ）の中期計画に基づく活動「GCNJ コレクティブ・アクション2030」で定めた5つの優先課題のうち、「バリューチェーン・マネジメント（VCM）」部会では、VCM をこれまで日本で考えられていたような「企業の上下流に関することだけ」ではなく、国際的基準に従い「企業自体のビジネスモデルを中核とし、それを取り巻く上下流も含む様々な活動・資源・関係性であること」であると捉え、今後の経営にサステナビリティ課題を組み込むに当たっての VCM の見直しに資する「アクションガイド」を策定いたしました。（IGES小野田は副座長としてVCM部会に参加しました。） バリューチェーン・マナジメント（VCM...

Adopting a Transboundary Risk Management Paradigm in a World of Multi-hazard Risks

In All-Hazards Approach Towards Resilience Building
Author:
The risks, climatic and non-climatic, are increasingly integrating and interacting with each other across geographical and time scales. This is largely happening due to factors and processes outside the purview of the risk management community that they have mostly ignored for most of the risk management history. The recent pandemic COVID-19 has...

The integrated and indivisible nature of the SDGs is facing implementation challenges due to the silo approaches. We present the three interconnected foci (SDG interactions, modeling, and tools) at the science-policy interface to address these challenges. Accounting for them will support accelerated SDG progress, operationalizing the integration...
