Az Expo 2025 az életről és a fenntarthatóságról szóló globális párbeszéddel zárult
A japán Kanszai régióban megrendezett oszakai Expo 2025 a fenntarthatóságról és az innovációról szóló párbeszéddel zárult. Az esemény során a témahetek keretein belül a társadalom különböző rétegeinek lehetősége volt eszmét cserélni arról, hogyan lehetne jobb holnapot teremteni.
00:03a truly global topic to wrap up Japan's Expo 2025.
00:08Six months of activities and debates
00:10anchored by eight thematic weeks,
00:12and with the event's final two theme weeks,
00:15which tackle the world around us.
00:17These theme weeks offer a platform
00:19where different slices of society can exchange ideas
00:21on how to create a better tomorrow.
00:23And everyone has a role to play,
00:25from politicians, to businesses, to academics,
00:28even children.
00:33Become an earth saver.
00:35These young explorers are answering that call
00:37at an event designed especially for them,
00:40part of the Earth and Biodiversity Theme Week.
00:43By collecting animal species in their adventure map,
00:46they learn about biodiversity and why it matters.
00:58The workshop was designed by thematic project producer Shoji Kawamori,
01:03who is also the mastermind behind the Live Earth Journey Pavilion.
01:07The visionary anime director and artist used childlike wonder
01:12to create an immersive experience celebrating biodiversity.
01:15The multi-pronged approach blends physical and virtual realities,
01:20an interactive light show uses sound, vibration, and animation
01:27to celebrate life in its many forms,
01:28while a VR film puts you in the skin of different creatures.
01:32moving the focus from just humans to all forms of life.
01:37to just human beings to the human beings.
01:39The connectedness of genes to each other.
01:41In the Middle East, it is known to all people
01:42and can't be expected to play.
01:43So it's called to be the one-women.
01:44You continue to try the way to run the animal
01:45and the whole world and its own life.
01:47It's very important to understand the reality.
01:47It's really important to understand the truth.
01:47You continue to understand the reality,
01:48it's very important to understand the realities.
01:49And the history ofskjaer doesn't like it,
01:50you see?
01:50This is the pandemic they are to at 24 hours.
01:52So it can still be explained that if you want to experience a reality.
01:53The multi-pronged approach blends
01:55physical and virtual realities.
01:56An interactive light show uses sound, vibration,
01:59and animation,
02:00to celebrate life in its many forms.
02:05Shifting mindsets through new perspectives is also one of the main goals at the Theme Week's
02:20panel discussions. After a panel on circular policymaking, sustainable fashion leader
02:26Mateo Ward stressed the importance of getting diverse actors in the same room.
02:35There's not one single brand or one single factory, one single technology even, that can
02:41solve the plethora of externalities, environmental and social, that the current fashion system
02:47is responsible for. We need a holistic approach.
02:50An expert in the textile industry's environmental impact, Mateo says Expo 2025 is a chance to
02:57include crucial voices in the conversation.
02:59Talking about responsible fashion at global platforms like Expo Zaka is fundamentally
03:05important to the resolution of the challenges we're currently facing because we get the
03:10chance to finally integrate the voices of the global south into the conversation.
03:18Incentivizing every individual to make a positive change is one of the driving forces behind Expo
03:232025, in line with the UN's sustainable development goals. The final theme week takes stock of
03:28the progress that's been made on the SDGs and how much work still remains to be done.
03:33The 17 goals set out by the UN to end poverty by 2030 are omnipresent at Expo 2025. Many national
03:42pavilions are designed around them, like the Japan Pavilion, which focuses on responsible consumption
03:47and production. This theme week highlighted Japan's small and medium enterprises working towards
03:53achieving the SDGs. At the SME showcase, Kagawa-based company raised the flag, demonstrated their innovative
04:00headset. It uses vibrations and AI to help blind people visualize the world around them. Their tech embodies the central
04:09SDGs promise to leave no one behind.
04:12And this is a mission that echoes the theme of the What Changes the World discussion, where Expo 2025's Best Practices winners proved that
04:16even the simplest idea can transform lives.
04:31We took a backpack and we took a desk and we put them together so that students could have comfortable space anywhere. The design is intentionally made very simple so that it can be implemented fast. It could be learned fast and it could be used again and again rather than a one difficult solution.
04:38Nepalese company Educase has changed the lives of thousands of children of the number of students in Europe.
04:51Nepalese company, Educase's signature backpack-turned-desk has changed the lives of thousands of children in Europe.
04:57It could be used again and again rather than a one difficult solution.
05:01Nepalese company Educase's signature backpack-turned-desk has changed the lives of thousands of children in parts of the world where learning is difficult.
05:11The low-tech invention bridges a fundamental gap in education in a way that's accessible for local communities.
05:17The wide variety of panel discussions during the theme weeks represents a shift,
05:22from treating the World Expo as a simple exhibition space to reimagining it as an open forum where every visitor has a contribution to make.
05:30The final session debate brought together Expo organizers past and present to discuss the significance of thematic weeks, which were first introduced in Dubai.
05:40In 2025, Osaka took the themes and they integrated new elements.
05:47They proved that the model is also the thematic weeks are culturally adaptable.
05:51And again, this was something very, very unique that we hope is just the beginning of something, you know,
05:57that we will continue to take root in World Expos for many years to come.
06:04The world has changed tremendously since Dubai hosted the last World Expo, with rising conflicts and polarization.
06:11Organizers say in this context, the Expo is more important than ever,
06:15as a global public good that brings about mutual understanding and dialogue.
06:20I think that, you know,
06:49theme weeks have become a guiding principle of expos.
06:52An expo is never going to solve all of humanity's problems.
06:56But if we take a big issue and we split it into little issues,
06:59smaller pieces of this issue,
07:02perhaps an expo can help us solve a few of those
07:05and move us in the right direction.
07:07To cement its legacy,
07:08Expo 2025 published a declaration,
07:11highlighting collaboration as a framework for the future.
07:19At the closing ceremony attended by hundreds,
07:30the feeling was overwhelmingly positive and hopeful.
07:36It's too soon to say how the discussions here have fueled real world change.
07:39But one thing's for sure,
07:41Expo 2025 brought together a multitude of voices in the same place
07:45to work through some of the greatest challenges our world faces.
07:48At the very least,
07:49it's a step towards building a future society that will work for all of our lives.
