Scope Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework underpinning a wide range of interdisciplinary initiatives in Earth Sciences. With interconnected objectives and impact across natural, social and human sciences, inclusive partnerships between academics, students, citizens, industry, businesses and other stakeholders are critical to the success of these initiatives. Such partnerships involving academics and students across all types of higher education institutions and high schools have profound impact on the local communities across Japan. In this session, we examine the significance of inclusive partnerships in SDG-aligned research, outreach and education initiatives in Japan. We will focus on ways to engage with local communities and the wider Japanese society, including marginalised individuals and groups. We welcome contributions based on i) critical reflections on research and education projects from the perspectives of academics, students and non-academic partners, ii) theoretical examination of the nature of inclusive partnerships in the Japanese cultural contexts, and iii) evidencing impact of inclusive practices in SDG initiatives.
