WHO WE ARE
Asian Sustainable Development Initiative (ASDI) is a Tokyo-based general incorporated association dedicated to promoting sustainable development across Asia. Also known as ASDI Institute, as a regional hub for research, education, dialogue, and collaborative action, we work to advance the goals outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We believe that sustainability is not just a global responsibility—it is an urgent and shared opportunity. By bridging knowledge, people, and practice, ASDI empowers communities, institutions, and policymakers to create meaningful and lasting change.

OUR VISION
A future where Asia leads the world in achieving a balanced, resilient, and inclusive society.
