Hitoshi Aoyagi, a member of the House of Representatives of the Japan Innovation Party, was asked about the current small size of the budget during an exchange of views with UNDP Vice President Haoliang Xu. (25/6/2024)

I am Hitoshi Aoyagi, a member of the House of Representatives of the Japan Restoration Association, and I have also worked for the United Nations Development Programme. You mentioned that the UN Development Programme is currently working on increasing the SDG impact of cooperation between the UN and the private sector. This will be a very important point in the SDGs for future generations. Until now, I think the focus has been on how to raise funds for SDG development or the UN, but now I think it is important to raise funds from the private sector and deliver them to the world. Without it, it would be impossible to solve the problems we face today, such as global warming. I believe that the current budget is too small to deal with such a big problem on a global level. I would like to know what you think. (25/6/2024)
