Description: Founded in 1999 as part of the enactment of the national "Promotion of Measures to Cope with Global Warming" law, the Japan Center for Climate Change is a national center that collects and disseminates domestic and international information related to climate change. The collection and public dissemination of both national and international information related to global warming and climate change are central to the JCCC's mission. A part of this activity consists in the construction and maintenance of a searchable database (currently only in Japanese) of global warming and climate change resources, including for example Internet resources and materials held by the JCCC. NOTE: This is a semi-governmental center founded by a government-led initiative and run by an organization appointed by the Ministry of Environment.

Description: OISCA, The Organization for Industrial Spiritual and Cultural Advancement International, works to contribute to environmentally sustainable development through a holistic approach emphasizing the interconnectedness of agriculture, ecological integrity, and human spirit. To accomplish this, OISCA International implements and advocates hands-on experiential programs for world citizens of all ages, transmitting knowledge and skills, and cultivating spiritual qualities as dedication, self-reliance, and universal brother- sisterhood. “Industrial” refers to the promotion of agriculture and other primary industries that are fundamental to human existence. “Spiritual” does not denote a particular religion but rather the need to nurture qualities such as self-reliance, dedication for one`s own community, international brother-sisterhood and respect for Earth`s ecological integrity on which life is grounded. “Cultural” represents the intent to encourage the magnificent cultural diversity that has enriched human life and the universal need to promote cultural patterns such as culture of peace. Originally formed in 1972, the Japan Asian Association & Asian Friendship Society (JAFS) focuses on providing sustainable and safe drinking water to rural communities in South and South East Asia through building wells, pipelines and related infrastructure. As an international cooperation group, JAFS also provides disaster relief to the victims of catastrophic natural events throughout Asia.

Description: This website aims to introduce you to the Japanese “Slow Living Movement.” In July 1999, ten or so people got together in Tokyo and started the Sloth Club. It became a catalyst of the so-called “Slow Life” movement in Japan, whose creed is “slow is beautiful." Some ten years later, the Sloth Club still exists and the word “slow” has become widely recognized. Slow can be understood to mean alternative, sustainable, ecological, local, and happy. Slow means “to connect”," with other people, with nature, etc. In the last ten years, we have witnessed positive changes all over Japan. The concept of slow has made an impact on many aspects of the society. The movement, for example, encouraged people to start acknowledging the richness of rural life and communities. Many like-minded groups have also formed to address issues as diverse as nuclear disarmament, peace between Japan and Korea, decentralization, and pollution. The movement as a whole is creating a new sustainable and ecological culture.
