[PHAJ] Event Report: Expo 2025...
Event Report: Expo 2025, Osaka, Kansai, Japan -Envisioning a Future Where Self-Care and Planetary Health Resonate
On June 22nd, Planetary Health Alliance Japan Hub was cooperating with the event “A Future Where Self-Care and Planetary Health Resonate” at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, organised by the Japan Selfcare Promotion Association.
At a packed venue on the day, we discussed “Think globally, act locally! A Future Where Self-Care and Planetary Health Resonate,” and shared our vision of the future 50 years from now. We had a very enjoyable discussion at the venue, and the time flew by. We set the day as a kick-start to discuss this theme and promise to continue talking together about a future where self-care and planetary health resonate.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated and to all the people involved with JSPA, who organised the event.
