On June 17, 2025, at 11:30 AM a protest gathering was held at Shyamoli Park Ground in Dhaka demanding an end to Japanese investment in coal and LNG in Bangladesh. Basically, the Japanese government and other private Japanese investment institutions such as METI, JBIC, and JICA are investing specifically in setting up fossil fuel-based, i.e. coal-fired power and LNG projects in 5 Asian countries, of which Bangladesh is one. This June, Japanese public and private organizations are going to make many important investment decisions. Considering this investment issue, Organization for Climate Resilience and Environment Conservation (OCREC), and 15 other organizations jointly organized this protest gathering to call on Japan to stop investing in fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy, along with other countries around the world. The organizing organizations of the event are Dharitri Rakhaye Amara (Dhara), Bangladesh Krishak Federation, Brighters, Center for Participatory Research and Development (CPRD), Center for Atmospheric Pollution Studies (CAPS), EquityBD, Global Law Thinkers Society (GLTS), Khasia Students Union (KSU), Mission Green Bangladesh, Sachetan Foundation, Sundarbans o upakul surokkha andolon, Young Climate Action Network (UCAN), ThreeFifty.org (350.org), River Bangla and Waterkeepers Bangladesh.
