[JPI Seminar] Forestry Agency: New Corporate-Forest Engagement for Net Zero, Natural Capital, and Well-being (June 5th)

The Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is inviting Toshimasa Masuyama, Director of the Forest Use Division at the Forestry Agency, to conduct a seminar on new ways for companies to engage with forests in the context of net-zero, natural capital, and well-being. Ecosystem services provided by forests support the national economy in various ways, including timber supply, water resource stability, flood mitigation, biodiversity, climate change mitigation, and health/recreation. Many companies are connected to forests through their supply chains, and deepening this engagement is vital for sustainable management. This seminar will cover topics such as the utilization of forest-derived J-Credits, information disclosure based on the TNFD framework, and training programs utilizing forest spaces, aiming to balance the development of forestry with the enhancement of corporate value.
