One of the important characteristics of any effective environmental policy is local information and local response. We cannot enforce an international environmental policy supranationally from above; we have to build an international environmental regime based on spontaneous local responses. So the regional dimension of the environmental policy is very important for international environmental governance. In practice, regional environmental regimes have been emerging in Europe, North America and East Asia since the 1970s. The regions have also been fields for experiments in innovative methods of international environmental governance. Japan is one of the major actors promoting an environmental cooperation regime in East Asia.
