In order to promote systematic and integrated efforts that are coordinated to address these impacts of climate change, the government of Japan has formulated its first Adaptation Plan, which establishes the basic principles, such as a vision for society, as well as basic approaches, the basic direction for measures in each sector, basic measures, and international measures.

The aim of this adaptation Plan is to minimize or avoid damage from the impacts of climate change, and create a secure, safe, and sustainable society that can quickly recover from those impacts. To avoid rework and to promote timely and appropriate adaptation, the Government will continue to observe and monitor climate change and its impacts, ascertain the latest scientific findings, implement regular assessments of climate change and its impacts, consider and implement adaptation measures in each sector based on the results of the impact assessments, assess progress, and revise the plans as required. By repeatedly following this cycle, the Government will work in a unified way to systematically promote adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
