The global environment crisis, coupled with pressing social and economic challenges, are increasingly putting pressure on Japan to make the transition to more sustainable socio-economic systems to build a more prosperous and inclusive future. In its 2020-2021 term, the Global Future Council on Japan will bring together a multi-stakeholder expert group to formulate a new vision and path for Japan’s sustainable transition, focusing primarily on the food system and the circular economy, two of the most critical areas for a country that relies heavily on global food and natural resources.
