About Us
Fossil Free Japan is a coalition of civil society organizations and movements from Japan and across the world working together to end Japan’s support for gas, coal and oil.
The Japanese government, private banks and corporations are driving the expansion of fossil fuels at a time when we must phase out fossil fuels to avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
Japan’s promotion of fossil fuels and false climate solutions is fueling the crisis and blocking the transition to renewable energy.
Formerly known as No Coal Japan, our coalition expanded its mandate after we succeeded in pressuring the Japanese government to stop financing new overseas coal projects.
Communities, civil society, and activists all over Japan – as well as communities in host countries – are working hard to encourage Japanese government officials, politicians, corporations and investors to support clean, renewable energy.
Across Asia, the US, Australia, and globally, we are building power to expose and stop Japan’s efforts to derail the transition to renewable energy.
Our movement is growing in strength and will not stop until Japan ends its fossil finance and supports a fast, fair, funded transition to renewable energy.
