To tackle the growing risk of heatstroke amid increasingly severe summer temperatures, the government has decided to establish an additional alert level that will require local authorities to provide air-conditioned facilities for their residents. | ...
Last summer, alerts were issued 889 times throughout Japan.
However, there is still no legal basis for the government to require local governments to take steps against heatstroke. The bill will require municipal governments to designate air-conditioned facilities as “cooling shelters,” including public facilities such as community centers and libraries as well as commercial facilities such as shopping centers. When extremely high temperatures are expected to pose serious health risks, a special alert will be issued, and the revelant municipal government will provide cooling shelters for residents.
The risk of high summer temperatures is increasing due to extreme climate events brought about by global warming.According to the JMA, there was an annual average of 2.7 days with a high of 35 C or higher from 1993 to 2022. If global warming continues at its current pace, the number of such days will increase at the end of this century by 19.1 days from the level at the end of the 20th century.
