Hi there, it's Minami.

In recent years, I think the main source of information has been the Internet.

But there are many other mediums for all kinds of information.

What medium can teach me extensively about a field I don't know much about?

Yes, magazines!

When you think of environmental magazines, you may think only of Newton-like magazines for researchers in English.

But in fact, there are a surprisingly large number of environmental magazines in Japan.

There is a good chance that libraries and other places will have them, so please read them when you have time, such as on holidays.

　So here you go.

(If you look through the magazine's website, you will find a lot of other information about jobs and grants, and you can get information in many different directions!)

Newton

If you want to know about scientific matters, why not read Newton, a well-known international magazine?

Newton is pretty much a place where you can learn about why certain natural events happen in the first place, why typhoons happen, how clouds are formed, and so on. and other natural sciences.

Here's an interesting one I recently ordered!

I have the impression that the articles in this magazine mainly introduce corporate initiatives.

It is also recommended for corporate businessmen, with introductions to some of the Japanese companies that are working on environmental issues.

For those who are engaged in other stakeholders, it may be good for them to read about other companies' case studies.

環境ビジネス environmental business

Environmental Business, as the name suggests, is a magazine for those who are in the business of the environment.

An online version is also available, so online-oriented people can view the information online.

It is especially good for those who would like to see case studies of various companies featured in each issue on various themes, to see what kind of initiatives they are taking and what other companies are doing to help them.

global warming

The magazine is dedicated to global warming.

Check back here for the latest issue!

alterna

A well-known and well-known environmental magazine!

Alterna is a media outlet that is widely and frequently updated on SDGs and environmental topics.

You can easily read many informative articles, from things you would normally be concerned about to interviews with celebrity environmental experts, etc.

You can check it out on our website, so why not take a look at it?

Nikkei ESG

Nikkei ESG is often read by companies and contains relevant articles, especially from an economic perspective (in short, ESG = Environment, Social, Gobernment = investment with consideration for the environment and human rights).

As the name suggests, it is published by Nikkei Inc. and is very informative, with experienced people interviewing and reporting on the top people in each industry.

アールイージャーナル（RE Journal）

R.E. Journal, as the name suggests, is a magazine dedicated to RE (renewable energy).

There are some free readings on the website as well, if you are interested.

EARTH JOURNAL 

The magazine is about agriculture and energy.

Although the vector may be a little different from the other magazines mentioned above, I personally think that energy and agriculture are inseparable from the environment with all the attention being paid to clean energy and the like.

I personally like it because it has very elaborate photos, designs, etc.

How was the article?

I have only introduced magazines that I have read at least once that deal with the environment in general.

In the future, I would like to compile for myself what magazines are available for water resources, which is my main interest.

If you would like to read one of the above magazines, please visit your local library, bookstore, or various websites!

You will surely gain and acquire new knowledge.

In addition to the ones I have introduced here, there are many other environmental magazines.

I don't have access to magazines! If you don't have access to magazines, why don't you go to the library and read a lot of them?
