Although the importance of environmental advocacy NPO activity is increasing, it is limited to policy recommendations and the holding of events. There is a need to develop advocacy methods that can enhance the capability to make and realize policy recommendations that will stimulate consensus formation among environmental NPO stakeholders. Capabilities can be enhanced by utilizing the knowhow of participatory advocacy activities that these groups have accummulated, clarifying issues encountered in realizing the policies of environmental NPOs through questionnaires and providing hands-on, participatory advocacy programs. Specifically, this will involve research and interviews to grasp the issues, the development of pilot texts and introductory seminars, holding of research meetings and introductory seminars utilizing the develpoed texts by practitioners and academic experts, and the holding of research meetings for leaders of these initiatives.
