■Promotional video for international cooperation on climate change adaptation produced to realize a climate change resilient society

In recent years, the world has been experiencing frequent meteorological disasters, including droughts and floods of unprecedented scale, and the impacts of climate change are becoming apparent, particularly in least developed countries in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa, where they have caused large numbers of disaster evacuees. In order to address these global issues, the government is promoting international efforts to adapt to climate change based on Article 18 of the Climate Change Adaptation Act, which was promulgated in June 2018 and enforced in December of the same year, and the Climate Change Adaptation Plan (Cabinet decision of October 22, 2021; hereinafter referred to as the "Adaptation Plan") based on the Act.

With the aim of promoting international cooperation on adaptation to climate change in countries and regions vulnerable to climate change, the promotional video for international cooperation on adaptation, "Adaptation," and the accompanying music, were produced by Della Inc. in collaboration with the Climate Change Adaptation Office of the General Affairs Division, Global Environment Bureau, Ministry of the Environment, and have been released on the Ministry of the Environment's YouTube channel.

■ Powerful lyrics and music that encourage audiences to take adaptive action

Members of the Climate Change Adaptation Office of the Ministry of the Environment's Global Environment Bureau, General Affairs Division, lyricists, and composers have utilized their respective expertise to create lyrics (in English) and music that encourages audiences to take adaptive action to realize a climate change-resilient society, with the intention of it being played repeatedly at international climate change-related conferences and events.

*"Adaptation" is available on the Ministry of the Environment's YouTube channel.
