The National Institute for Environmental Studies was recognized in 1974 as a central point for environmental research in Japan. In 2001 it became an Independent Administrative Institution. NIES is planned into eight centers, each of which is subdivided into a further number of sections responsible for different specializations within the broader field to which they belong. The eight centers are accountable for research in eight different fields, with programs dedicated to these research areas.
