Scope (Session Description) The impacts of climate change include increased risk of natural disasters such as typhoons and torrential rains, changes in the distribution of organisms, and deterioration of quality and yield in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries due to high-temperature damage. It is urgent to develop adaptation measures to deal with these problems and implement them in society. Japan enacted the Climate Change Adaptation Act in 2018, aiming to minimize or avoid damage caused by climate change and build a sustainable society; climate change adaptation plans have been formulated, accelerating the development of adaptation plans by the national government and local governments. In addition, as a recent international trend, Regional Information for Society was established by the World Climate Research Program. A bottom-up approach has been started to provide scientific support that local stakeholders need more. In this session, toward planning adaptation to climate change and enhancing its social implementation based on scientific knowledge, we will discuss the generation of climate change projection data, assessment of the impacts and risks of climate change in various fields, as well as the social implementation of adaptation plans by co-creation with stakeholders and/or by local climate change adaptation acts.
