Dear List,

With the beautiful cherry blossom season just behind us,  the Golden Week ahead of us and a week into the running of the Osaka Expo 2025, I am happy to announce that the videos of the presentations from our "Sustainability in Japan" conference (https://www.dijtokyo.org/event/vsjf-annual-conference-sustainability-in-japan/), co-organized by the Universities Duesseldorf and Duisburg-Essen and the German Institute for Japanese Studies Tokyo, held in November 2024 in Berlin, are now freely available online on our YouTube channel. 

The total 13 lectures cover the social, political, and economic perspectives on sustainability, as well as talks on the sustainability at the Osaka Expo 2025.
