Associates of the Earth is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization incorporated under the Japanese Nonprofit Activities Promotion Law.



Consider the happiness of the Earth and human being through mutual understanding among world citizens.

The global environmental problem is a type of a problem which must be dealt with in cooperation with Asian and other countries around the world. For that purpose, it is important to understand the world in a global scale.

What are the conditions of the people in various countries and regions? What are their appeals? Answers to these questions should be at the very basis of solving the problems.

We believe that the future of the human being and the world can be steered towards the brighter, with mutual understanding and cooperation among the people throughout the world. The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UNDESD) has begun in 2005. We at NPO Associates of the Earth will deepen our understanding on the global environment through activities promoting UNEP, while at the same time we search for the genuine happiness in life and the depth of humanity.
