The 3R Conference for Asian Local Governments

In Asian region, economic development is outstanding and the region is playing a crucial role in global economy. At the same time, cross-border resource recycling is increasing rapidly and international information-sharing and cooperation are very important.

Under these circumstances, intergovernmental partnership and academic exchange by experts regarding environmental problem and waste management are very active in recent years.

Japan Environmental Sanitation Center (JESC) has held “National convention for environmental sanitation” since 1956 for information exchange among local governments, experts, NPO and so on. In 2006 and 2007, we organized the international symposium “Challenge by Asian region for 3R”.

Since 2008, “The 3R Conference for Asian Local Governments” has been held as further developed one for information exchange and collective action, as a role of local governments is very important for promotion of 3R.
