Global warming poses a serious threat to the quality of life in the 21st century. Taking Japan as an example, this book explains the anticipated impact of global warming on modern society - on natural ecosystems, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, water resources and environments, the infrastructure and socioeconomic system, and human health. Scientific and technical information is presented by more than 30 researchers who are assessing the potential impact of global warming on nature and society. The results of their research provide evidence of the urgency of the task faced by policy makers in responding to climate change.
