Our goal is to gather independent people interested in social-ecological relations. We aim to better equip them, exchange ideas, and engage them in discussions that can lead to tangible social change, particularly through our platform for discussions on political ecology and public debate in Japan.

ECW workshop series on climate mitigation, agrarian and environmental change, agriculture and food, and sustainability topics is held twice a semester. KASA Sustainability organizes and hosts a two-session event that consists of a reading workshop and a speaker, which encourages participants to learn and share their knowledge.

The ECW Reading Workshop is a casual gathering of like-minded people who discuss the theme of the ECW Speaker Workshop. The speaker selects and recommends the readings, and the participants are encouraged to read the following works to gain a richer understanding of the speaker workshop.

With support from the Sophia University Graduate Program in Global Studies and as part of the Political Ecology Network, we aim to create a conducive space for researchers and students to exchange ideas, discuss and promote research; expand graduate student access to resources to collaborate, support and publish about climate change mitigation and food research. ​
