Supplement: About the United Nations General Assembly
United Nations General Assembly High Level Week (September 18-26, 2023) The United Nations General Assembly, attended by member states, begins a new session every year on the third Tuesday of September.
At the annual High-Level General Discussion (September 19-23, 26), which brings together world leaders, the theme of “Rebuilding Trust and Revitalizing Global Solidarity: Peace for All” was held. The theme is “Accelerating action on the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for prosperity, progress and sustainability” and explores solutions to intertwined global challenges. The period before and after this general debate speech is called the “United Nations High-Level Week,” and various discussions are held, including the “SDG Summit (September 18-19),” which is a summit meeting of each country’s leaders and a negotiated political declaration. You can also watch online. Reference site: https://www.unic.or.jp/news_press/features_backgrounders/48592/ SDG Summit (September 18-19, 2023)
This is a high-level political forum aimed at achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is held once every four years and brings together world leaders at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
This year, over two days from September 18th to 19th, we will review the implementation status of the 2030 Agenda and its 17 SDGs, and highlight the accelerated and transformative actions that need to be taken by 2030, the year in which the goals will be achieved. We plan to provide political guidance at the level. The outcome of the SDG Summit will be a negotiated political declaration.

《About the Riviera Future Creation Project》
The businesses of the Riviera Group cannot survive without the blessings of nature. That is why we believe that we have a social mission to address various issues around the world as our own. The “Riviera Future Creation Project”, which started its activities in 2006, is currently promoting SDGs with all employees working on three axes: “environment,” “education,” and “health and medical care (well-being).” As part of this effort, Riviera Zushi Marina has been promoting sustainable town development since 2012, with the concept of “Sustainability Town Riviera Zushi Marina,” including the use of sunlight, beach cleanup activities, events that coexist with pets, and recycling-oriented farming. I’m here. We are also working to raise awareness of reducing CO2 emissions through activities to popularize electric vehicles. “Malibu Hotel” is the first hotel in Japan to introduce a V2B (vehicle to building) system, which allows electricity to be supplied from electric vehicles to lights and outlets at the front of the hotel in the event of a disaster, aiming to be a hotel that is both eco-friendly and disaster-prevention friendly. I’m here. Additionally, Riviera Zushi Marina’s hotels, restaurants, and event venues use 100% renewable energy. In December 2020, we established the Riviera Future Creation Project, a specified non-profit organization, to further promote this social activity. We will continue to take a wide range of steps, fulfilling the role of a HUB that connects people and organizations with each other.
