Abstract
This study aims to explore how resource characteristics drive Japan’s eco-economic development. By examining the current state of natural resources, human resources, and technological innovation, the study reveals the influence of these factors on eco-economic practices. It first highlights key cases in renewable energy, circular economy, and ecological agriculture, including the promotion of solar and wind energy, waste recycling and reuse practices, and the development models of organic farming. Subsequently, the research summarizes critical success factors and challenges and discusses future development directions. Finally, it offers a series of policy recommendations to support sustainable development. This study not only provides empirical insights into Japan’s eco-economic development but also offers valuable guidance for other countries transitioning toward an eco-economy driven by resource characteristics.
