In May 2025, several newspapers in the Hokuriku region of Japan published articles highlighting a series of events co-organized by UNU-IAS in Kanazawa City. Bringing together experts from 11 cities that are part of the #GenerationRestoration Cities project led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the events included workshops, field visits and a public symposium celebrating International Day for Biological Diversity.
The symposium discussed restoration initiatives by seven cities, including Kanazawa, which are leaders in preserving and enhancing natural ecosystems.
The articles (in Japanese) are available in print and online:
