~ Japan Science and Technology Agency and Sustainable Development Goals ~

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, consisting of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets, was unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on September 2015. The SDGs encompass challenges that aff ect all of humanity and our planet. For Japan, the resolution Japan Science and Technology Japan Agency for Medical ResearchJapan International of these issues is closely linked to the realization of Society 5.0 and the Fourth Agency (JST) and Development (AMED) Cooperation Agency (JICA) Industrial Revolution described in the Fift h Science and Technology Basic Plan, President President President which is one of Japan’s growth strategies. They are also the basic principles HAMAGUCHI MichinariMISHIMA Yoshinao KITAOKA Shinichi of Japan’s contribution to developing nations and the international community at large.

In June 2016 the United Nations held for the ﬁ rst time a forum focused on how SATREPS is a joint research program between Japan and developing countries science, technology and innovation (STI) can help achieve the SDGs. There are that aims to find solutions to issues of a global scale, such as global warming, strong expectations that STI can provide the scientiﬁ c grounding for tackling bio-resources, natural disasters, and infectious diseases. It is part of Japan’s various challenges concerning sustainability that humanity faces today and for “science and technology diplomacy” collaboratively pursued by the science and making better policy decisions. technology sector and the diplomatic sector to promote mutual development. Global issues become more and more complex every year, and they tend to hit To enable STI to help realize the SDGs, it is vital to ensure collaboration among developing countries particularly hard. They have gone beyond the stage where all the diverse stakeholders, such as government agencies, universities, research they can be solved by any single country alone. Their solutions will require centers, non-government organizations, and business enterprises. The Japan international innovations and research outcomes in science and technology to Science and Technology Agency will take advantage of all its many functions— be fed back into the community, as well as the development of human resources including think tank, research and development, collaboration with industry and upgrading of research capabilities. and academia, people development, and science communication—to contribute actively to SDG initiatives in Japan. In September 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit was held at U.N. headquarters. This Summit culminated in the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a collection of goals for the international community to work together to achieve by 2030. The SDGs are an important guideline for the elimination of poverty and the realization of sustainable growth by 2030. They emphasize the importance of global partnerships among all parties working to achieve them. The intention of SATREPS is to contribute to the international community as it aims to achieve sustainable development through the SDGs, by having researchers from Japan and developing countries work together on issues, creating new knowledge and technologies based on local needs, which can be put to use in the actual community.

JST, AMED and JICA will continue to engage in global issues together with developing countries and, by building strong bonds of trust, pursue the creation of new values in science and technology.

SATREPS : Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development –SATREPS and Science & Technology Diplomacy– SATREPS is a Japanese government program that promotes international joint research. The program is structured as a collaboration Among the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Japan Agency Science & Technology for Medical Research and Development (AMED), which provides competitive research funds for science and technology projects, and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which provides development becomes a resource for diplomacy assistance (ODA). Based on the needs of developing countries, the program aims to address global issues*1 and lead to research outcomes of practical beneﬁ t to both local and global society*2. Recent years have seen an increase in threats that have a global impact,

including global warming, major natural disasters, and food problems. *1 Global issues: Issues that aff ect more than a single country or region, and cannot be resolved without international collaboration. Examples include energy/environment issues, disaster risk reduction, infectious disease control, and food security. SATREPS is working to address such global issues by raising the overall ability *2 Utilization of research outcomes: The research projects should lead to future social and economic benefi ts, achieved by using of developing countries to handle such challenges, and by enhancing their newly obtained knowledge and technology to enhance government services or to develop products that can be deployed in science and technology research capacity.

Disaster Prevention Republic of and Enhancement of Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Technology in Peru Peru Mitigation

Lima Metropolitan is expecting a big earthquake in the near future Report from the Project Member: Several researches indicate that Lima Metropolitan Area, the capital of Peru, Dr. Selene Quispe is expecting a big earthquake. In order to mitigate this natural hazard, several Japan Peru Center for Earthquake Engineering Peruvian researchers, including Dr. Selene Quispe are investigating the eff ect of Research and Disaster Mitigation(CISMID) Faculty of Civil Engineering, National University of Engineering the subsurface structure on site response. More than 5 years and still they are conducting several microtremor measurements in order to understand how the sedi- - Studied at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (2013-2015) as receiving Japanese Government Scholarship - mentary layers control the ampliﬁ cation of the soil during an earthquake, as well as to identify the places that might sustain severe damage because of the subsurface soil condition during a strong ground motion in Lima city. Measurements in order to characterize the deep structure of Lima Metropolitan Area

Currently, Dr. Quispe is conducting several microtremor measurements in order to characterize the deep structure in Lima Metropolitan Area, since this information is still unknown in this place. In her doctoral thesis submitted to the Tokyo Institute of Technology, she concluded that the deep structure has a big contribution on the site response, but the results that she got during the doctoral course are still preliminary. Microtremor measurements have been conducted in some places around Lima Metropolitan Area, and currently she is processing the data that she got from these measurements. From this research is expected the new results have a big contribution to the state of the art of the Earthquake Engineering as it exists in Peru today.
