Description:
The 2024 annual conference, co-organized by the Japan Society for International Development (JASID) and the Japan Association for Human Security Studies (JAHSS), is the first joint conference in five years. While we mark the 70th anniversary of development assistance, human insecurity is growing everywhere, and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is at stake. Global uncertainty and multiple crises affect our life, livelihood, and dignity, intensifying people’s vulnerability.
In this plenary session, we will discuss how we can achieve a society where no one is left behind and everyone can benefit from development and live with dignity. This will be explored at the intersection of international development, which contributes to peace and prosperity, and human security, which seeks to protect the security of each individual by addressing the factors that hinder sustainable development.
