The Climate Change Impacts Monitoring Research Section is responsible for developing climate change impact monitoring systems that are capable of measuring the effects that climate change has had on the natural ecosystems and social systems across Asia-Pacific including Japan, and for conducting necessary observation projects. This Research Section also gathers and organizes past observation data to identify any changes occurring over the long term and analyze their relations to climate change. The Research Section also conducts survey and research projects to elucidate the mechanism through which the effects of climate change arise and impact us.
