The impacts of climate change, including global warming, are becoming increasingly evident in our daily lives. One indication of this is the introduction of the term “Kokusho-bi” (days of extreme heat) for days with temperatures of 40°C or higher. Under these circumstances, efforts to achieve carbon neutrality are urgently needed. Equally important are responses and measures to address the impacts of climate change on our daily lives and social activities. Together with the need to respond to increasingly serious population, food, and energy challenges, these global-scale developments are driving major transformations in human activities.
Against this backdrop, the concept of “sustainability” has become deeply familiar to us. In 2015, Japan Weather Association (JWA) set out its corporate mission of “creating a society harmonized with the natural world,” and coined the term “Harmonability” to express this mission succinctly.
“Harmonability” is aligned with the concept of “sustainability” and serves as a keyword that expresses, in a single term, JWA’s commitment to advancing a sustainable society.
To help realize “Harmonability,” JWA will make every possible contribution to initiatives aimed at achieving Japan’s goal of net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.
