In 2015, UN member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals to address the global challenges that humanity faces. The fulfillment of these goals can best be achieved if governments, businesses and citizens all work together. However many people are still not aware of them.
To increase awareness, the medium of music can be used by individual artists, companies and organizations as a way of informing and educating the greater public about SDGs.
KMC is registered as a Co-Creation Partner with the TEAM EXPO 2025 Programme. A co-creation partner is a corporation or organization that creates, supports and promotes co-creation challenges related to SDGS.
As an organization that is focused on increasing the awareness of SDGs, the KMC Executive Committee will be introducing artists who promote SDGs to other co-creation partners, such as small and medium-sized companies, associations and organizations, and these artists will be able to perform at promotional events, festivals and other opportunities in the build-up for the Osaka, Kansai, Japan 2025 Expo!
Encourage and promote effective public, public-private and civil society partnerships, building on the experience and resourcing strategies of partnerships.
KMC has always been about cooperation and partnership, and in an effort to increase the awareness of SDGs, artists and related partners will be encouraged to become more involved to help spread the word through music about these goals for sustainable development.
Ensure women's full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life.
To stress the importance of gender equality, KMC will include women in this year's conference with highlighted performances and a seminar focusing on gender equality.
