Adaptation for Individuals and Communities
Many people may be feeling the effects of climate change, such as more hot summer days and extremely hot days than before, or an increase in flood damage caused by heavy rain. In order to create a society where everyone can live with peace of mind, let's think together about "adaptation" to the effects of climate change and take action.
This section explains, together with graphs and illustrations, what kinds of climate change have been caused in the world and Japan, the effects that have already occurred in Japan and that may occur in the future, and efforts for adaptation.
Let's learn!
How have climate change impacts been caused in the world and Japan? What will happen in the future, and what can we do now? Let's learn together about "adaptation to the impacts of climate change".
This page introduces the simplest explanation of "climate change adaptation" with examples.
Let's watch the future weather forecast
Weather forecasts introduced here are those in the year 2100, based on the estimation regarding the latest weather conditions and other factors. There are two episodes ; the one with the future when the goal of limiting the temperature increase from pre-industrial levels to 1.5°C is achieved, and the other one with the future when this goal is not achieved.
