変革するアジア 解決策のスケールアップ
Summary
Friends of the Earth Asia Pacific presents a series of community-driven projects aimed at transforming the region's economic and political systems. The report details successful initiatives in forest management, social economy, food rights, renewable energy, and sustainable tourism, arguing that these local models can be replicated and expanded if supported by national and regional policies.
Key insights
- In Indonesia, a community-led forest management model focusing on land rights for subsistence farmers and traditional knowledge is being scaled up, with the government promising 12.7 million hectares of forest area for Community based Forestry by 2019 to protect over 10 million people's livelihoods.
- FoE Australia promotes the 'Social and Solidarity economy' through models like the Melbourne Food Co-operative, which provides a democratic alternative to corporate business by empowering workers and prioritizing social and environmental benefits over shareholder profit.
- In Sri Lanka, the creation of a revolving fund in the Nilgala region has provided an alternative financial model where local people can borrow at a 1% interest rate, reducing dependence on high-interest moneylenders and improving forest management.
- FoE Timor Leste has demonstrated the viability of community-based eco-cultural tourism in Tutuala, Maubisse, and Laloran, which distributes economic benefits fairly and preserves cultural heritage and the environment as a non-fossil fuel sector.
- Legal action by FoE Nepal led to the Supreme Court of Nepal confirming a universal legal right to adequate food in 2011, and the subsequent 2015 constitution included explicit recognition of the Right to Food.
- In South Korea, citizen-owned solar cooperatives, such as those at Samgaksan high school and Hanshin University, are being used to reduce reliance on nuclear power and influence local government policy to support small-scale solar initiatives.
- FoE Papua New Guinea is using legal challenges to fight illegal land grabbing, specifically targeting the Special Agriculture and Business Lease (SABL) system under the Land Act 1996, which has alienated an estimated 5.2 million hectares of customary land.
- In Malaysia, FoE is supporting agroecology and chemical-free farming to reverse the detrimental health and environmental impacts of the 'Green Revolution', resulting in the rehabilitation of degraded forests and the return of wildlife.
