SUMMARY:World Expo 2025: Osaka
DESCRIPTION:Japan’s Registration Dossier concerning Expo 2025 Osaka\, Kansai\, Japan was approved by the General Assembly of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) in 2020\, when the Covid-19 pandemic was raging worldwide\, forcing humankind to face an unprecedented crisis. \nAs a result of this pandemic\, the world is faced with new challenges\, such as the fragmentation of interactions among nations and people\, the need to reconstruct environments and various social systems\, and changes in values and lifestyles. These circumstances require bringing together the wisdom of the world and lead the way to swift solutions. \nReflecting on the theme of Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai\, “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”\, and taking necessary action has become a mission for this age. The international community has devoted serious efforts to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030\, and these efforts are consistent with the significance of holding the Expo. \nThe SDGs are essentially an intertwinement of various challenges centred around lives. Any endeavour to achieve these intertwined goals should be made through collaboration\, bringing together those who aim to create a brighter future with better lives and a sustainable natural and human world. \nExpo 2025 Osaka Kansai will provide the world with an opportunity to come together in one place to explore the theme of “life.” This Expo will facilitate interactions between people with diverse values from around the world\, resulting in new human networks and creative endeavours. Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai will share hopes for a brighter future with the world by overcoming the current global crisis\, protecting people’s lives\, and reflecting on life and lifestyles. \nDesigning Future Society for Our Lives \nThe theme\, “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”\, makes individuals think how they want to live and how they can maximise their potential. This theme also aims to drive co-creation by the international community in designing a sustainable society that supports individuals’ ideas of how they want to live. \nIn other words\, the Expo will ask a straightforward question for the first time: “What is the happy way of life?”. The Expo is taking place at a time when new social challenges\, including expanding economic gaps and heightened conflicts\, are emerging\, while science technologies are evolving\, including AI and biotechnology\, that will present changes to humankinds\, for example\, extended life spans. \nSaving Lives\, Empowering Lives\, and Connecting Lives are the three subthemes of the Expo. Japanese culture has long been based on the belief that any material\, from all living creatures to even a pebble along the road\, has an inherent life. With this in mind\, the Expo welcomes the consideration of ‘life’ not just for human beings but also in a broader sense of diverse creations and nature that surround humans. \nSaving Lives focuses on protecting lives. This subtheme may be associated for example with countermeasures against infectious diseases through improvement in public health\, ensuring safety through disaster readiness and disaster risk reduction initiatives\, and harmonious coexistence with nature. \nEmpowering Lives focuses on enriching the lives of individuals and expanding their potential. Topics related to this may include\, for example\, high quality remote education through the use of ICT; the extension of a healthy life span through appropriate exercise and diet; and the maximisation of human potential through the use of AI and robotics. \nConnecting Lives focuses on getting everyone engaged\, building communities and enriching society. This subtheme may relate to subjects including\, for example\, the power of partnership and co-creation\, advanced communications enabled by ICT\, and the design of a data-driven society. \nThe concept of Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai is “People’s Living Lab.” This concept represents the Expo’s approach toward putting its theme into practice and serves as a guideline for the practical implementation of projects. The most distinctive characteristic of the Expo will be the endeavour to give a realistic picture of a future society not just through thought\, but also through action. This endeavour is being launched before the Expo\, by inviting diverse participants to come together with various initiatives to tackle challenges with solutions that will help achieve the SDGs\, either on or off the Expo site. \nThe Expo site is located in Yumeshima\, an artificial island located on the waterfront in Osaka that offers visitors a view of the Seto Inland Sea. The Expo will be promoted as being connected to the world through the surrounding sea and sky\, with programmes taking advantage of the site’s location. \nWith an area of 1.55 km2\, the venue will have a pavilion area in its centre\, with waters in its southern part and greenery in its western part.
