Aim —
Environmental issues such as climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, desertification and deforestation of tropical forests continue to challenge modern society. Unsustainable consumption of natural resources in both developed and developing countries threaten not only the supply of resources themselves but also whole ecosystems. Likewise, the effects of these problems are not confined to immediate boundaries or regions, and cannot be solved by a single country, government, corporation or individual. Therefore, every effort to achieve environmental conservation must be carried out in the contexts of international collaboration
The Japan Fund for Global Environment (JFGE), a division of the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency of Japan (ERCA) was established by an initial endowment from the Japanese government together with contributions from the private sector, including individuals and private corporations. The interest accrued from these funds is then used to provide support for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and non-profit organizations (NPOs) programs aimed at environmental conservation.
