On December 5, 2025, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, Palsystem Federation will host an engaging online event to delve into the pressing issues of climate change. This initiative aligns with the discussions held at the COP30 international conference in Brazil, where stakeholders from various nations convened to address global climate challenges.
The event aims to gather participants to collectively brainstorm actionable solutions for our breaking planet. Notable guests include Hiroki Osada from the environmental NGO Friends of the Earth Japan and Rina Toyoshi from the Climate Reality Project, an organization founded by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. Both presenters participated in various activities surrounding COP30, sharing their experiences and insights with attendees.
Among the highlights, Hiroki Osada will focus on the impact of the climate crisis on temperature increases, droughts, and floods, which are increasingly affecting regions worldwide. His presentation will cover the latest findings from COP30 and relate them to local and global environmental challenges. Following Osada, Rina Toyoshi will address community advocacy for climate justice, emphasizing her commitment to empowering vulnerable groups through her work at the Climate Reality Project. She will also discuss the importance of intersectionality in addressing climate issues that disproportionately affect certain populations.
Additionally, as part of the event, the International NGO Peace Boat will present a video showcasing their initiatives under the 'Marine and Climate Youth Ambassador Program.' This program includes young participants from island nations, who will share personal narratives about how climate change has influenced their livelihoods and environments.
The program rundown looks as follows:
- - 10:30 AM - Opening remarks
- - 10:35 AM - Pre-recorded messages from Pacific Island youth
- - 10:45 AM - COP report by Hiroki Osada
- - 11:25 AM - COP report by Rina Toyoshi

The event is free for all interested parties. If you wish to view the archived footage later, registration is required by November 30, 2025.
This online initiative is part of Palsystem's ongoing commitment to environmental preservation and awareness. In 2023, the organization established policies targeting decarbonization, the creation of a circular economy, and coexistence with nature. Their declaration, named the 'Palsystem Nature Positive Declaration,' was made to combat global warming and preserve biodiversity.
Palsystem emphasizes collaboration with various cooperatives, local organizations, and producers throughout these efforts. This commitment aligns with the global call for cooperation in sustainability, particularly as 2025 marks the International Year of Cooperatives.
