Message from the President

Long before the SDGs were adopted globally, Osaka Prefecture University (OPU) and Osaka City University (OCU)—the predecessors of Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU)—actively promoted and supported interdisciplinary research aimed at fostering a sustainable society.

Building on the foundations of these two universities, OMU has established the University Coalition for Carbon Neutrality Office and the Environmental Management Office to implement concrete actions toward achieving the SDGs. Guided by these initiatives, OMU is committed to making effective contributions to the success of the SDGs through a wide range of activities, including human resource development, innovative research, and community engagement.

Further, for over a decade our students have taken the lead in producing the annual Environmental Report. Through such participatory efforts, OMU aims to further raise awareness among all members of the university community and work toward an inclusive and sustainable future.
