Overseas Environmental Center, Japan (OECC)

Overseas Environmental Cooperation Centre (OECC) is a general incorporated association that has been active for more than 30 years since its establishment in 1990 by a group of experts with extensive knowledge, experience and networks in the field of overseas environmental development cooperation. As Japan’s core organization in this field, the OECC contributes to the realization of a sustainable society worldwide. We are a leading organization with the ability to effectively reflect international needs and a deep understanding of recent national and international dynamics through strategic efforts toward a sustainable future. Through a broad and diverse network of member corporations and partners, including consulting firms, manufacturers and local governments, we are uniquely positioned to effectively mobilize the technology and knowledge of Japan for global sustainable development. OECC is also positioned as a research institution committed to addressing challenges on sustainable development in an appropriate and professional manner. Our collaborations include government agencies such as the Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), as well as international organizations such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations University (UNU) and the UNFCCC Secretariat. As a group of experts, OECC will continue to evolve in its provision of cooperation-related support and services to domestic and foreign clients and partners leading to high-quality overseas environmental development cooperation.
