About "the moment by The Japan Times"

Since 2018, The Japan Times has been distributing information in English about the activities of The Japan Times Satoyama/ESG Consortium, with the aim of supporting efforts toward a sustainable society in Japan.

During the coronavirus pandemic, we have decided to launch a crowdfunding initiative named The Moment by The Japan Times to provide a space for deeper engagement and support by readers of The Japan Times.

In crowdfunding, the emphasis is on the project owners’ stories. The Moment by The Japan Times works in collaboration with The Japan Times, and the visions of the project owners can be fully conveyed by referencing articles and special features in The Japan Times about the consortium and related activities.
