セッション概要 / Session description：

Germany and Japan have a great many things in common – among them near-identical Country Overshoot Days. If the world's population would live like people in Germany or Japan, Earth Overshoot Day would land on May 5 (German Time) or May 6 (Japan Time). It is clear that both countries need to be very ambitious in setting goals for a sustainable future in accordance with the Paris Agreement, e.g. regarding carbon-neutrality.

But while governments in both countries are still pondering which measures to take and large corporations face difficulties in adapting their business models to new requirements, it is entrepreneurs and startups who are often at the fore of developing ideas for livable future.

In this panel discussion with startups from Hamburg, Germany and Japan we want to take a look et the sustainability issues in both countries and showcase individual solutions to some of these. What are the pressing problems for our societies? Which SDG's do they correlate with? What kind of solutions can startups offer that corporations and governments have yet to address? And would these solutions be relevant and applicable across borders?

Join us for an hour of bilateral discussion between German and Japanese startups!

ドイツと日本には多くの共通点がありますが、その中でも国別オーバーシュート日がほぼ同じです。もし世界の人口がドイツや日本の人々のように生活するとしたら、地球オーバーシュートデーは5月5日（ドイツ時間）か5月6日（日本時間）になります。両国とも、炭素中立性など、パリ協定に則った持続可能な未来のための目標を、非常に意欲的に設定する必要があることは明らかです。

しかし、両国の政府がどのような対策を講じるべきかを検討し、大企業が新たな要求にビジネスモデルを適応させることに困難を感じている一方で、住みやすい未来のためのアイデアを開発する先頭に立つのは、しばしば起業家やスタートアップです。
