We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the interest, encouraging feedback, and continuous support we have received from our readers and supporters during the past year.
For 14 years, Japan for Sustainability (JFS) has been giving the world information from Japan on progress with sustainability. Our online archive of articles shows that Japan really has something to offer the world in terms of useful knowledge, technologies and efforts to promote sustainability.
As part of our ongoing coverage of sustainability topics, in these five years since the Great East Japan Earthquake and nuclear accident struck Fukushima and the Tohoku region in March 2011, JFS taken on the task of delivering a steady stream of reporting on the affected region, lessons learned, processes of recovery and reconstruction, and challenges remaining and changing over time. The process of reconstruction is ongoing, and we believe it can teach everyone a lot about "resilience."
This year, JFS launched a special webpage featuring efforts and trends associated with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Japan. We hope this feature page will function as a gateway to Japan and Japanese groups for people around the world who are making an effort to achieve the SDGs.
JFS "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs)Among all the available English online media, JFS is unique as a source of information from Japan with an integrated perspective on sustainability. Even the national government is not able to match our level of coverage.
All of this we do with volunteer teams and just two full-time staff. As you can imagine, this is a challenge to accomplish on a tight budget. JFS functions as an information gateway for a variety of sustainability groups and activities, but we actually face some difficulties securing funds to sustain our activities.
If JFS has been useful for your activities, would you consider offering us some support?
JFS accepts donations from around the world, by Justgiving, a secure web payment system.
