The Satoyama Mace Initiative (SMI) is a community-based framework inspired by the Japanese concept of satoyama—the harmonious balance between people and nature. It demonstrates a successful, integrated approach to climate action that aligns with both the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At its core, SMI revitalizes Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes (SEPLS)—such as Japan’s satoyama areas and their global counterparts—by connecting ecological stewardship directly to sustainable economic benefits for marginalized communities. Through its robust carbon credit mechanism, the Initiative establishes a vital nexus between environmental integrity and social justice.
The Satoyama Mace Initiative ( SMI ) has been awarded the 2025 MUSE Creative Award in the Strategic Program – CSR Program category, recognizing its pioneering achievements in linking carbon markets with cultural heritage, Indigenous empowerment, and ecosystem restoration.
