"Eco-Life Fair 2019" visitor questionnaire
We report the results of the "Survey on the Awareness of Adaptation to Climate Change Impacts."

Date of the meeting June 1th-2th, 2019
Venue Tokyo / Shibuya Ward

At the Eco-Life Fair 2019 held in Yoyogi Park on June 1 and 2, 2019, a questionnaire was conducted to learn about how to adapt to the impacts of global warming and climate change. Some of the 797 responses we received over the two-day period are presented. (Report on participation in Eco-Life Fair 2019)

Q.Have you ever heard the words "adaptation" to global warming and climate change impacts?

Q2の円グラフQ3の円グラフ

We can see that the majority of people were interested in the earth and the environment.
Approximately 90% already knew the term "global warming," while about 60% knew the term "adaptation" to the impacts of climate change today. Many people already know about "adaptation" through mass media such as television, newspapers, and radio, and the Internet. There were also people who said they knew it at school.

I'm making a picture scroll seriously!

Your impressions and opinions

●Some of the following are introduced: "What I would like to know about "adaptation" to the impacts of climate change," "My impressions on poster exhibitions," and "My impressions on the creation of picture scrolls" (excerpted from the free description).

"Adaptation" that we can do individually

  • I would like to know more specifically about the measures and activities that children and themselves can take in their immediate lives.
  • I wanted to know more about what each person could do for fever and infectious diseases.
  • I thought it would be better to be aware of the global warming and climate change directly linked to our lives and to be able to broaden the range of adaptation as much as possible.

Policies and Administration on Adaptation

  • I was wondering what the Climate Change Adaptation Centre itself was doing.
  • I was surprised to learn that they are making various efforts nationwide. I want to know more about the effect.
  • I would like to know how to prioritize adaptation policies.
  • I've seen the city's infrastructure (disaster prevention) on television, but I wanted to actually see it.

Studies on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation

  • I learned a lot because I could explain about the adaptation of rice in detail.
  • I would like to know the mechanism by which guerrilla torrential rain occurs.
  • Coral reefs were found to be affected.

Creating original picture scrolls

  • I thought it would be a good opportunity for small children to be interested in adapting to environmental problems.
  • I was surprised by the method of communicating it in a compact way as an imagi.

Other

  • Climate change tends to focus on negative factors such as disasters and product declines, but it has been possible to understand the positive aspects of climate change (e.g. warm local fruits), so we would like to learn more about this information. I want young people to take an interest in it.

Many respondents expressed a desire to learn more specifically about the familiar "adaptation measures" that they can do on their own. In addition, many participants expressed their opinion that efforts should be made to address climate change not only through adaptation measures but also through mitigation measures.

In return

I am pleased that this event will help you deepen your understanding of climate change impacts and adaptation. A-PLAT will continue to work to enhance its intelligence so that you can help you think about climate change and adaptation. Thank you very much for your visit and cooperation.
