Japan leads climate adaptation efforts amid extreme weather

Japan is emerging as a global leader in climate change adaptation, implementing innovative strategies to cope with extreme weather events like record-breaking heatwaves and torrential rainfall. The country's efforts include government-mandated workplace heatstroke prevention measures, with companies like Obayashi Corp. adjusting construction schedules and Seibu Railway providing air-conditioned rest areas.
