Credited from: SCMP

  • Japan has recorded its hottest year in 2024, with an average temperature of 1.48 degrees Celsius above pre-2020 levels.
  • Rice production is at risk as higher temperatures severely impact crop quality, particularly in the western lowlands.
  • Farmers are transitioning to heat-resistant rice varieties or switching to cultivating vegetables due to climate challenges.
  • The rising temperatures are also changing marine ecosystems, with warmer seas bringing new fish species into traditional fishing areas.
  • Overall, both forests and marine environments in Japan are experiencing significant transformations due to climate fluctuations.
