EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan

The overarching theme for EXPO 2025, 'Designing Future Society for Our Lives,' serves as a powerful call to action, urging individuals, communities, and nations alike to actively participate in shaping the world to come. This theme is not merely aspirational; it is a foundational principle guiding every aspect of the exposition, from pavilion design to thematic programming and interactive exhibits.

It compels us to introspect on our present realities and boldly envision how science, technology, innovation, and human collaboration can converge to craft a future that is not only sustainable but also profoundly enhances the quality of life for every person across the globe. The theme is underpinned by three core sub-themes: 'Saving Lives,' 'Empowering Lives,' and 'Connecting Lives.'

'Saving Lives' delves into global health challenges and solutions, exploring advancements in medicine, public health, and well-being for all ages. 'Empowering Lives' focuses on enhancing individual potential through education, technology, and economic opportunities, fostering inclusion and resilience. 'Connecting Lives' emphasizes building harmonious relationships between people and nature, and across cultures and generations, fostering global connectivity and understanding.

EXPO 2025 will be a living embodiment of these themes, showcasing tangible examples, fostering critical discussions, and sparking innovative ideas aimed at translating this shared vision for tomorrow into concrete realities today. It is an invitation to contribute to a future where prosperity and well-being are accessible to all.

EXPO 2025 is not just an exhibition; it is a committed partner in the global endeavor to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The entire framework of the exposition, from its central theme to the design of its pavilions and the content of its programs, is strategically aligned with the 17 interconnected global goals established by the UN.

This event provides a unique, large-scale platform to accelerate momentum towards these crucial targets. Through showcasing innovative solutions, fostering cross-sector partnerships, and inspiring action among millions of visitors and participants, EXPO 2025 aims to demonstrate tangible pathways for progress in areas vital to the SDGs, such as ensuring good health and well-being (SDG 3), promoting affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), building sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), and strengthening global partnerships for the goals (SDG 17).

Discussions, workshops, and exhibitions throughout the Expo will specifically address challenges and present solutions related to poverty reduction, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, climate action, and protecting life on land and below water, among others. The event serves as a beacon for global collaboration, highlighting how collective action and shared knowledge are essential to overcoming complex global challenges.

The legacy of EXPO 2025 is envisioned as a catalyst for sustainable thinking and intensified international collaboration, leaving a lasting positive impact far beyond its closing date. By bringing together diverse perspectives and pioneering solutions, the Expo embodies the spirit of the SDGs – a shared global blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
