Activist Kimiko Hirata is still reeling from becoming the first Japanese woman to clinch the Goldman Environmental Prize, widely regarded as equivalent to the Nobel Prize, for her efforts to wean Japan off coal-fired power generation. Hirata, 50, said modestly that she didn’t feel she merited such attention, but was hugely pleased that her work in environmental protection had shed light on the activities of Japanese nongovernmental organizations. “That is what I am best pleased about.” Hirata got interested in international issues when she took a college class given by Masako Hoshino, a pioneering activist working at an NGO. Alarmed by the thought that “Mankind is driving the Earth crazy,” Hirata quit her job at a publishing company that puts out academic works and joined an NGO in the United States. She was just 26 years old.
