After 3-year discussions within a working group of the Japanese CIE and then 2-year discussion under a committee of the Environmental Agency in Japan, “Guideline for Light Pollution - Aiming for Good Lighting Environments” was published by the Environmental Agency. This is the first governmental guideline in the world and therefore a good example to be discussed in the other countries.
