Large volumes of greenhouse gas emissions cause higher CO2 concentration in the air and increase heat absorption, resulting in temperature rise, and thus, global warming.

Climate change due to global warming is expected to induce the following phenomena in coastal and low-lying areas. -More frequent heavy rains and more intense typhoons Frequent and serious flood and sediment disasters -Sea level rise and more intense typhoons Frequent and serious storm surges and coastal erosions -Wider range of variation in rainfall intensity and change of river flow regime Frequent and serious droughts

Basic concept for a future ideal society Combining mitigation and adaptation aiming at ‘’ Water -disaster adaptive society’’ Basic direction of climate change adaptation strategies

1. Adaptation measures to achieve “Zero casualty" should be prioritized, because ‘’Zero damage’’ from disasters is virtually impossible. 2. In a nerve center like the Tokyo metropolitan area, intensive efforts should be channeled to prevent core national functions from paralysis. 3.Adaptation measures Adaptation strategies for climate change Countermeasures for Climate Change

Preparation of basic operation rules, communication, command and control, information sharing and public announcement

Basic rules of restricted pump operation 《Image of flood damage by drainage pump》 -River and sewerage administrators make basic rules of restricted pump operation to Drainage with P effectively mitigate urban flood and pumps P inundation caused by heavy rainfall that P Sewer exceeds the current project design target.

P:Drainage pump Communication and information sharing River Although surface water damage along river is mitigated by pump drainage, river water flood may -Related organizations jointly establish a occur at the bottle neck of water way in the downstream communication system for effective and efficient pump operation. Stopping -The administrators provide hazard drainage with P pumps P information beforehand and ask for P cooperation from residents. When pump Sewer operation is restricted, the administrators supply necessary information for residents’ River P :Drainage pump smooth evacuation. Surface water damage may occur around the drainage pump due to drainage restrictions 7. Adaptation measures Public awareness to mitigate damages in Tsurumi River (Public awareness and education on disaster preparedness) Efforts should be made to organize local meetings and raise public awareness toward disaster preparedness. Education for school children Disaster preparedness workshop

Adaptation measures Public awareness on flood damages in Tsurumi River (Advance dissemination of flood- and inundation-prone information) By simulating urban flood and inundation, municipalities prepare “Hazard Maps”
