To Readers and Supporters of The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan
Focus
Annual Fund-raising Campaign
Our goal: to raise $12,000 to publish the Journal and to
carry out improvements in the design and functioning of our website.
We’re approaching $5,000, which means that we have a way to go. At a time
when the international order is imploding with new conflicts erupting
across the Asia-Pacific our work takes on new importance. We rely on
readers, authors and supporters. The Asia-Pacific Journal is a 501 (C)
(3) non-profit organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.
U.S. contributions are tax deductible. Success depends not only on the
many $25 and $50 contributions, but also on people able to provide $100
to $1000 contributions. By

Here’s a small bonus: a pbs special on Sinking Cities: Tokyo https://www.pbs.org/video/sinking-cities-tokyo-sg5m7t/
which better than anything we’ve seen shows the challenges of rising
waters in the era of climate crisis, some of the most impressive
engineering attempts at solutions, and a range of approaches to the kinds
of problems that cities globally confront and that threaten to engulf us.
Many of us now believe that a focus of our work should be responses to
climate crisis including rethinking the possibilities of the urban
environment in an era of rising waters, the nature of fruitful planning
and development strategies. The entire series is available at Amazon.
