It has been suggested that Japan may not be effective in negotiating with the international community. I'm here to put that claim to rest. Japan, faced with a growing incidence of daily high temperatures above 35°C and a decline in extremely low temperatures, recognizes that climate change affects every nation in the world and that everyone has a duty to decrease the rate of climate change , if not to counteract it. the effects overall. In Japan, various birds and mammals have shown trends toward larger body sizes due to increasing food availability as temperatures rise regionally. However, the main concern related to climate change is rice yield; they are expected to decline by up to 40% in the irrigated lowland areas of central and southern Japan. The impact of rising temperatures on global food supplies was a key issue for climate experts meeting in Japan because climate change is one of several issues pushing Japan toward a food crisis. Dr Raquel Moreno Panaranda, of the United Nations University in Yokohama, said: “The entire food system is not safe at all.” Japan is working to counteract the effects of climate change, not only regionally, but also globally to ensure that a food crisis does not occur in the immediate future. With climate change on the rise, the timing of Japan's spring event of Hanami – waiting for the first signs of cherry blossoms in historic Ueno Park in central Tokyo – is becoming harder to predict. Due to their cultural significance, the appearance of the flowers has been recorded in some parts of Japan for over a thousand years; however, climate change is causing irregularities in the flowering period of trees.
