Nankaido connected
by SDGs
This keyword has been much talked about around the world in recent years. But what kind of specific measures are there?
Sometimes they are implemented in a remote mountain area, and sometimes on a small deserted island.
Even if each one is small, they are important initiatives that will connect us to
the future. We offer a trip to learn about and experience them.
A trip to explore a sustainable way of life while visiting
two areas in which the Nankai Group is strong
Kamikatsu-cho
Kamikatsu-cho is the first municipality in Japan to announce a “zero waste” policy.
People living in this town sort their garbage into 45 types. In addition, the town has achieved
a recycling rate of 80% by people voluntarily bringing the separated waste to the only “garbage station” in the town.
Kada
A scenic port town located in the northwest area of Wakayama City.
In addition to using fishing methods that take the environment and resources into consideration, we are also making efforts such as conducting research and studies to improve the problem of marine waste.
Established as a sustainable fishing village centered on SDG No. 14 “Conserve and sustainably use the oceans.”
