サプライチェーン全体で考える必要があるというのは、SDGs達成のために欠かせないことですが、一方で、現実でそれを実現するには大きな変革が必要です。アップルやボルボのようにサプライチェーン全体でサステナブルな取り組みを進めようとする企業が差別化に向かって動き始めていますが、日本の企業の姿がなかなか見えてこないのが現状です。そうした中で取り組みを進めるため、この度サステナビリティ認証の仕組みを進めることとしました。講演ではそのような動きも含めてお話をしたいと思います。

　View Summary

According to the 2023 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR), bringing about the transformation required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires facilitating synergies and eliminating trade-offs between different SDGs. Understanding these synergies and trade-offs is critical to assessing progress toward the SDGs through voluntary national reviews and to considering global goals beyond 2030.

This session introduces ongoing research on these synergies and trade-offs conducted by some of the institutions where members of the Independent Group of Scientists that drafted the 2023 GSDR are based. Implementation of the SDGs relies on localized actions and local contexts. Therefore, case studies and empirical data on context-specific synergies and trade-offs are critical for drawing lessons on how transformation takes place. This event, which is an initial stage of a project exploring synergies and trade-offs between SDG targets, will showcase examples from Japan, Finland, and Sweden. The event will encourage collaboration and partnerships on accelerating progress toward the SDGs by facilitating synergies and eliminating trade-offs.

　View Summary

As the theme of the meeting, I have chosen “Creation of Future Orthopaedics: Orthopaedic medical care in the Era of the 100-Year Lifespan.” As people can now expect to live to 100, orthopaedic medical care will have an ever more important role to play in safeguarding the orthopaedic health of the nation’s residents of all generations, and giving them a bright future. Recent years have seen rapid paradigm shifts in medical care, and I hope that this Annual Meeting will offer a venue for serious discussion of issues including the degree to which we can appropriately incorporate novel medical technologies such as artificial intelligence, robots, remote medicine, and the use of big data into orthopaedic medical care, as well as the extent to which we can respond to pressing healthcare policies including the board certification system, reform of doctors’ working practices, and gender equality of doctors. I also want to offer young doctors not only the opportunity to acquire a basic knowledge of orthopaedic surgery, but also a venue where we can show them their possible future directions as orthopaedic surgeons. Although the future course of COVID-19 is unpredictable, we are adopting a hybrid format for this Annual Meeting utilizing information technology suitable for the post-COVID era, so that participants will be able to experience both the traditions of the JOA and its future whether they are taking part in person or online.

基調講演
地球と都市と生活者：SDGsがつなぐ今と未来
SDGsが策定されてから、2030年の達成目標年へ向けてハーフタイムを過ぎました。ハーフタイムでの達成状況は１５％。ここからの大逆転が必要です。だが、サッカーワールドカップ日本代表がそうであったように、ゲームチェンジャーの投入により、予想を覆すような大逆転も可能です。昨年蟹江らがまとめた国連の報告書「持続可能な開発に関するグローバル報告書（GSDR）」では、「変革は不可避であり、可能である」というメッセージを打ち出しました。特に先進国においては、そのカギの一つはデジタル化が握ります。本セッションでは、多様な分野における変革のシナジー効果を高めながら社会全体の変革を実現するための可能性を探ります。
