Kimiko Hirata, Ph.D

Executive Director

Kimiko started her climate work at a US NGO in 1996. She then worked with the Japanese non-profit Kiko Network from the time it was established in 1998 until 2021. While there she spearheaded climate policy and advocacy efforts and attended most of the annual international climate conferences starting with COP3 (Kyoto) in 1997. Concerned about a new boom in coal power plant construction in Japan following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, she launched a multipronged campaign to fight coal, which has culminated in the cancellation of 17 planned coal plants to date. She was also successful in gaining support from shareholders for Japan’s first-ever climate shareholder resolutions targeting Japanese banks (Mizuho in 2020 and MUFJ in 2021). In recognition of her efforts, she was awarded the 2021 Goldman Environmental Prize in 2021, and selected as one of the BBC 100 Women 2022. She established Climate Integrate in 2022 with the aim of supporting multiple actors’ decarbonisation efforts by working together with partners in Japan and abroad. She is a visiting associate professor at the Chiba University of Commerce, which is home to Japan’s first 100% renewable university initiative. She also serves as an environmental policy advisor for Ichikawa city. Her publications include “Climate Change and Politics” in Japanese (2019). She has a Ph.D in social sciences from Waseda University in Tokyo. She was born in Kumamoto.
