Project

Social Implementation Program on Climate Change Adaptation Technology (Research on development of technology for evaluation of the impact of climate change: Topic (i) Development of sectoral impact and adaptation measure evaluation technology for climate change, Sub-Topic e: Development of a heat environment and health impact model for evaluation of adaptation measures)

Summary

In order to construct a society that is fortified against climate change, this program works toward local municipal bodies being able to collect the scientific information required to construct measures to adapt to regional climate change, and based on the development of fundamental shared technologies and scientific information for predicting the future thermal environment of the region, the goal is to implement application development and introduction support that contributes to the establishment of measures for adapting to climate change in consideration of regional characteristics.

 

Among application tools to enable local municipal bodies to evaluate climate change impact, the University of Tsukuba handles development of countermeasure evaluation schemes and risk mapping (heat level warnings) for heat stroke.
