Since 1993, ICLEI Japan has been connecting member municipalities in Japan with ICLEI’s international network.
ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability is a global network of more than 2500 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development. Active in 125+ countries, we influence sustainability policy and drive local action for low emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient and circular development. Our Members and team of experts work together through peer exchange, partnerships and capacity building to create systemic change for urban sustainability.
ICLEI Japan was founded in 1993, as one of the country offices of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, and serves to build and enhance the local governments’ network in Japan. ICLEI Japan supports the member cities to lead local initiatives, to promote global collaboration to achieve regional and global sustainability in partnership with other ICLEI offices and partner organizations. The profile of ICLEI Japan’s Members and mayors’ messages can be found here.

The Tokorozawa City area, once a wilderness on the Musashino Plateau, includes Nakatomi and Shimotomi in Tokorozawa City and Kamitomi in Miyoshi Town, which are collectively known as ‘Santome.’ Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, who became lord of the Kawagoe Domain in 1694, promoted the development of new agricultural land in the area.
These farms were divided into strips of land, each with a house, farmland, and woodland that occupied 30% of those lands, assigned to farmers from various regions. Farmers practised a cyclic farming method, using fallen leaves as compost for arable land and maintaining thickets with crop waste. This traditional method enhances soil quality, boosts agricultural production, and supports zero emissions.
Known as ‘Musashino Fallen Leaf Compost Farming,’ it was designated a World Agricultural Heritage Site on July 6, 2023. This 300-year-old tradition highlights Japan’s pioneering role in the realisation of a circular economy and 30by30.
Associate Partnership is available to non-governmental organizations, universities, state and national government agencies and not-for-profit research institutions. The purpose of Associate Partnership is to facilitate dialogues between local governments and these partners, to provide knowledge transfer in line with ICLEI’s Mission and Charter, and an avenue for which partners can support ICLEI’s work and mandate.
HARNESS the power of the ICLEI Network!" Governments need to give (the sense of) direction, as Business leaders we don't make the wind, we sail the boats. So policy should set the winds in the right directions if you want the boat going fast to the right harbor."Philippe Joubert Senior Advisor, World Business Council
