Global Environment Centre Japan

GEC was founded with the aim of contributing to the conservation of the environment in developing nations and around the world by leveraging Japan’s wealth of conservation knowledge and experience in support of UNEP’s urban environment conservation activities in developing countries and undertaking activities to promote international cooperation to protect the global environment. In recent years, GEC is proactively engaged in projects, such as: introduction of low-carbon technology into developing countries using the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM); UN agency support on waste management; support for overseas business expansion by Japanese companies possessing excellent environmental and energy saving technologies; and international training.
