The Campus SDGs Events for students has been promoted by UNCRD in collaboration with universities and colleges in Chubu Region as UNCRD believe the engagement of youth is crucial for promoting and implementing SDGs in the Chubu Region. Since the adoption of SDGs, UNCRD has been organizing public symposiums and seminars to promote awareness on the SDGs in Chubu Region in collaboration with key stakeholders, including governments, universities, private sector, citizens, nongovernmental and nonprofit organizations.
