JAES 21 has several projects that are gaining momentum. Through national and international relations we are engaged in making policy proposals, researching various studies and planning enlightenment activities. Through our work, we hope to create a sustainable and circulative society with minimal ramifications.
JAES 21 is actively proposing policy changes in our current lifestyle, value system and institutional frameworks to effectively create a sustainable society. Based on solid research findings, the policies are designed by experienced JAES 21 staff and partners of different backgrounds.
Research Studies
JAES21 has conducted a pioneering research study and various collaborative researches in partnership with private and public sectors based on our environmental and social viewpoints.
We also hold small study groups, "Constitution Study Group," "Green Economy Study Group," and "Environmental Education Study Group." Each study group attendee performs unique activities and such activities become the base of our policy proposal and future enlightenment activities.
Enlightenment Activities
We issue monthly newsletters "Environment and Society" to spread the latest environmental ideas and activities. Other activities include workshops, eco-tours, publication of booklets, and dispatch of lecturers.
* Enlightenment activities are currently only available in Japanese.
People-to-People Exchanges
We hold a National Convention for Exchange with our members once a year to engage in various activities in the cities and towns outside the Tokyo/Kawasaki area, such as Kansai, Koga, and Toyama. We also engage in international activities by hosting seminars in cooperation with NGO members and researchers in the USA. This project is focused on constructing a sustainable society in Japan as well as in other parts of the world.
