Following her lecture will be discussant comments by Noriyuki Wakisaka, editorial writer for the Asahi Shimbun.

G8 Dialogue Series
G8 and Doha: Putting Development back into the Doha Round

Speaker: Dr. Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury, Foreign Minister/Honorable Advisor, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh

2008 is envisioned to be the year that will make or break the Doha Round of negotiations between members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The Doha Development Round, initiated almost seven years ago, has promised to remove barriers to global trade with the goal of promoting development. It has come to little thus far.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy urged member states to move forward towards a deal on Doha to be finalized this year. However, for the Doha Round to be considered successful, it must also meet the needs of developing and especially Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The People's Republic of Bangladesh, as current Chair of the LDCs, is pressing for greater global market access of products produced by LCDs "without discrimination". In the run-up to the G8 Summit in Toyako, Japan, this lecture is an opportune moment to consider LDC perspectives on what would be required for the Doha Round to be deemed a success for promoting development through international trade.

UNU Interactive Seminar on Global Issues
Seminar II: International Water Security — Domestic Threats and Opportunities

Water is essential for all and has no substitute. Unlike many other resources, water is not easily transferred from one location to another. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, two-thirds of the world population will face serious water scarcity by 2025. Indeed, there is heightened concern among scholars about the possibility of “war over water” erupting in the 21st century. Solving water-related problems requires a multi-disciplinary approach, including engineering, agriculture and social science perspectives. In addition, strong political commitment is required to avoid conflicts over war.

Join us as Professor Mikiyasu Nakayama of the Graduate School of Frontier Science at the University of Tokyo critically assesses the challenges and solutions of water resources in the 21st century, with a commentary afterwards by Professor Emeritus Yutaka Takahashi of the University of Tokyo.

Advance registration is required. To register, please send your name and affiliation to the Seminar Secretariat.

Please note that this seminar will be held in Japanese with no interpretation available.

First Tokyo Peacebuilders Symposium: "Peacebuilding Experience and Knowledge from Asia to the World"

Peacebuilding is one of the major challenges of today’s global community. Japan is committed to contributing to peacebuilding in the world. It has been serving as Chair of the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission since June 2007. Prime Minister Fukuda stated in his policy speech to the Diet on January 18, 2008 that Japan would actively address global challenges and play a responsible role in the international community as a "Peace Fostering Nation" which contributes to peace and development in the world. He also stated that Japan aspires to become a hub of human resource development as well as research and intellectual contribution to further promote cooperation in the field of peacebuilding.

Against this background, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and United Nations University (UNU) Peace and Governance Program decided to launch “Tokyo Peacebuilders Symposium” to be held at UNU Headquarters in March 2008 with a broad participation of peacebuilding practitioners and academics from Asia and other regions of the world to feed into global efforts. This will provide regular and informal settings for them to discuss and promote contribution to peacebuilding from an Asian perspective and to strengthen the regional and global networks in this field.

The symposium will allow participants to share, discuss, improve, and promote effective peacebuilding and peacebuilding-support policies and practices in Japan, Asia and the global community, and aims to facilitate dialogue and networking among practitioners, academics, civil society, private sector, and media in the field of peacebuilding across governments, organizations, sectors, and generations in Japan, Asia and the global community.

Co-organized by: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and UNU.

G8 Dialogue Series
Global Health: What is necessary to make it possible?

Speaker: Kiyoshi Kurokawa, Advisor to the Cabinet of Japan and Professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies

Eight years after the indicator year for “Health for All” set by the World Health Organisation (WHO), this goal still appears illusory and challenging to achieve at best. A resurgence of infectious diseases assisted by warming temperatures, lifestyle changes, and insufficient nutrition and access to health care facilities especially among populations in developing and least developed economies are major causes for concern for all humanity. In a globalized world, where borders are crossed with increasing frequency, these problems can no longer be restricted to the territorial limits of nation states. Prof. Kurokawa argues that in order to achieve global health, it is important for developed economies and their scientists, who have the necessary capacity and technology, to engage proactively in constructive health interventions. He also argues that to be effective, such activities must be co-ordinated with both grass-root communities and the governments of developing countries.

Sweden-Japan Symposium on Sustainable Urban Development

Climate change is one of the most severe threats to our world today. An enormous amount of work needs to be done to reduce both energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, for sustainable growth to be achieved.

Cities and municipalities have an important responsibility, especially since a majority of the world’s population already lives in urban areas. This concentration of people creates both a need and a basis for efficient and smart solutions in the fields of transport, energy etc. Sweden and Japan have both come a long way in building sustainable cities and developing sustainable transportation systems. Both countries are also working on innovative measures for the future. With Japan chairing the G8 in 2008, and Sweden preparing to take over the Presidency of the European Union in the latter half of 2009, in time for the Copenhagen Summit, cooperation between the two countries in the environmental field is of ever greater importance.

Under these circumstances, a joint Sweden-Japan Symposium on Sustainable Urban Development will be held on 17 April 2008, at the United Nations University in Tokyo. Simultaneous interpretation English-Japanese will be provided.

Organized by the Embassy of Sweden in Japan, the Ministry of the Environment of Japan and UNU with the support of the Swedish Institute, the Natural Step Japan and Volvo.

UNU Interactive Seminar on Global Issues
Seminar III: Climate Change in Asia

Looking beyond the Kyoto Protocol's first containment period, an intense and growing international debate over the future climate change regime has emerged. Countries in Asia have particularly high stakes in this regime given the region's high population, growing greenhouse gas emissions, burgeoning economies and vulnerabilities to the impact of climate change. Limited capacity, however, has hampered the participation of many Asian countries in the international debate.

In this third session of the UNU Interactive Seminar on Global Issues, Dr. Yasuko Kameyama of the National Institute for Environmental Studies examines the institutional dimensions of climate change and, importantly, identifies linkages between climate change and sustainable development. Commentary afterwards will be provided by Ms. Yurika Ayukawa, the climate policy senior officer at WWF-Japan.

Advance registration is required. To register, please send your name and affiliation to the Seminar Secretariat.

Please note that this seminar will be held in Japanese with no interpretation available.

G8 Dialogue Series
Peace Fostering Nation: Japan’s New Role?

Speaker: Tatsuro Kunugi, Visiting Professor at UNU-IAS, formerly, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Humanitarian Assistance to Cambodia; Deputy Executive Director of the UN Population Fund

As host country of TICAD IV and the G8 in 2008, Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) policy is the focus of considerable interest worldwide. In a number of major speeches recently, such as at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Prime Minister Fukuda has outlined some major elements of future directions for Japanese ODA policy. These include his visions on Japan’s role in addressing climate change, development and Africa and international peace and security. These policy statements outline, among other aspects, Japan’s proposals to play a leadership role at the G8 and beyond in working towards the establishment of a new post-Kyoto framework to tackle climate change, which will include participation by all major emitters as well as setting fair and equitable emissions targets. Similarly in an effort to establish Japan as a leading "peace fostering nation” Prime Minister Fukuda’s recent policy speeches have highlighted the important role Japanese Official Development Assistance and other initiatives can play in the development efforts of developing countries, particularly in Africa. Significantly these speeches also highlight the very close link between the Millennium Development Goals, human security, peace and development while recognising the growing role of international organizations, NGOs active in local communities, other civil society groups and private sector entities.

14th U Thant Distinguished Lecture

Former President of Finland Martti Ahtisaari has made numerous vital contributions to international peace and security, from facilitating the peace process between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement to his recent role as UN Special Envoy for the Kosovo Status Process.

He has successfully brought together opposing parties in conflicts around the globe, facilitating dialogue and setting the scene for agreement to emerge. In this way, his efforts have allowed seemingly intractable conflicts to end in political, negotiated settlements.

This lecture on “Negotiating Peace in Africa, Asia and Europe” demonstrates the former President’s range of experience, highlighting our shared responsibility to help and protect our fellow human beings. Indeed, we all have a responsibility to prevent conflict, but when this fails we must equally do all we can to achieve peaceful resolutions.
