On January 8, 2021, the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service announced that the year 2021 tied with 2016 as the warmest year in history, and 2011-2020 as the warmest decade recorded. In 2020, despite the La Nina phenomenon which has the cooling effect, the temperature was pushed by the strong El Nino phenomenon which has a temperature rise effect, and matched the warmest temperature ever recorded in 2016. 

In recent years, Japan has also been affected by extreme weather conditions. However, climate change is a global issue that cannot be solved on its own and therefore requires international cooperation. JIRCAS provides information on  technological development and policies necessary for solving global issues.
