Created in 1980, FoE Japan was one of Japan’s first NGOs to work on international environmental problems. The organisation joined FoEI in 1983.
FoE Japan’s main campaigns are on climate change and energy, forest protection (in particular promotion of sound forest utilisation in Japan, and forest conservation in Russia), reform of Japanese and international financial institutions (in particular the new Japan Bank for International Cooperation), Fukushima support and nuclear phase-out, and more.
FoE Japan’s ultimate goal is to create a world in which all people may live peacefully and equitably.
