変革するアジア 解決策のスケールアップ

This report by Friends of the Earth (FoE) Asia Pacific outlines community-led solutions to combat inequality and climate change across the Asia Pacific region. It highlights specific projects in forest management, sustainable finance, food rights, renewable energy, and eco-tourism, calling for governments to scale up these models through supportive policy frameworks and legislative reforms.

• The Asia Pacific region faces dual crises of climate change and growing inequality, with the Asian Development Bank estimating that 1.75 billion people in Asia live in extreme poverty.
• In Indonesia, FoE is promoting a community-led forest management model to counter high deforestation rates, which saw 15.8 million hectares of forest lost between 2000 and 2012. The Indonesian government has promised 12.7 million hectares for Community based Forestry by 2019, though FoE Indonesia recommends increasing this to 40 million hectares.
• FoE Australia highlights the 'Social and Solidarity economy' through the FoE Melbourne’s Food Co-operative, established in 1975. The non-for-profit sector contributed AUS$55 billion (US$ 40 billion) to the Australian economy in 2012.
• In Sri Lanka, a revolving fund was established in 10 villages to support over 500 families, allowing local people to borrow at a 1% interest rate to reduce dependence on high-interest moneylenders and improve forest management.
• FoE Timor Leste has developed community-based eco-cultural tourism in Tutuala, Maubisse, and Laloran to provide non-fossil fuel economic alternatives. The Tutuala venture has hosted over 4,000 tourists from more than 140 countries.
• FoE Nepal successfully campaigned for the legal Right to Food, leading the Supreme Court of Nepal to confirm a universal legal right to adequate food in 2011. This was further solidified in 2015 when Nepal's new constitution included explicit recognition of the Right to Food.
• In South Korea, FoE is supporting citizen-owned solar cooperatives, including installations at Samgaksan high school and Hanshin University. The community raised 180 million Korean Won (180,000 USD) for these projects.
• In Papua New Guinea, FoE is fighting illegal land grabbing, noting that 97% of the country's land is under customary ownership. It is estimated that 5.2 million hectares of customary land have been alienated from owners, often through Special Agriculture and Business Lease (SABL) schemes.
• FoE Malaysia is promoting agroecology to reverse the detrimental effects of the 'Green Revolution'. Projects in the Baram District of Sarawak include growing gaharu saplings and establishing medicinal plant nurseries in at least 4 villages.
