UNU-IAS Operating Unit Ishikawa/Kanazawa will co-organize a fourth in a series of events exploring local sustainability initiatives and disaster recovery efforts in Noto Peninsula, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, which suffered significant damage due to earthquakes and heavy rainfall in 2024. Titled "Weaving Connections Within and Beyond Noto, Beyond the Disasters", the event will feature practitioners who have been supporting recovery efforts from both within and outside the region.
