\u201cCommunicating the Connection between Extreme Weather and Climate Change”.\u00a0 – Meteorologists and weather casters can be a bridge to <\/span>improve public understanding of <\/span>the climate crisis<\/span><\/h2>\n

As climate change becomes more and more serious, weather forecasts and news reports could provide a great opportunity to the viewers to become aware of the causes of the extreme weather. On June 5, \u201cWorld Environment Day\u201d, weather forecasters and weather casters throughout Japan have issued the \u201cJoint Statement of Weather Forecasters and Weather Casters on the Climate Crisis\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

[Joint Statement by Weather Forecasters and Weather Casters on the Climate Crisis]
\n<\/b>\u201cCommunicating the Connection between Extreme Weather and Climate Change\u201d. \uff5eMeteorologists and weather casters can be a bridge to improve public understanding of the climate crisis\u301c\u00a0<\/p>\n

[Joint Statement Message]
\n<\/b>Many of the weather forecasters and weather casters have a sense of crisis about climate change. We will accelerate actions to improve understanding of the climate change issues, aiming to \u201ccommunicate the connection, whenever there is a connection, between extreme weather and climate change\u201d. We will strengthen our partnerships and cooperation with experts and media, and weather forecasters and weather casters will become a bridge to communicating the climate crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25a0\u00a0<\/strong>Background of the statement: Now that it is possible to provide scientific evidence.
\n<\/b>Extreme weather caused by global warming, such as extreme heat, torrential rains, floods, and droughts, is already causing extensive damage in many parts of the world, and has become a serious problem that threatens our livelihoods, food and agriculture.<\/p>\n

The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report*1 clearly states that \u201cthere is no doubt that human influence has contributed to global warming\u201d and assesses with a high degree of confidence the impact of human activities on weather extremes. In recent years, studies of event attribution*2 by the Meteorological Research Institute and others have begun to reveal causal links between specific weather events and climate change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25a0\u00a0<\/strong>Importance of media to deliver information\u00a0
\n<\/b>According to a Yale University survey*3 , approximately 70% of the world’s population wants information on how to solve climate change, and in Japan, 55% of respondents answered that climate change is \u201cvery\/extremely important\u201d while only 12% answered \u201cnot important\u2019\u2019. Another survey*4 shows that only 33.6% of respondents are taking action to \u201cdecarbonize,\u201d indicating that they are interested but have not yet taken action. In addition, according to the Cabinet Office’s \u201cPublic Opinion Survey on Climate Change\u201d 2023*5, more than 90% of respondents obtained information on the effects of climate change from TV and radio, indicating the importance of conveying information correctly through the media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25a0\u00a0<\/strong>The significance and challenges of what weather forecasters and weather casters to communicate
\n<\/b>Weather forecasters and weather casters are familiar to viewers\/readers and are in a position to convey information on a daily basis. In a survey*6 asking \u201cWho would raise interest in the climate crisis if called upon to do so?\u201d Weather casters were rated second only to scientists and professional organizations, and play an important role in sharing information with society at large.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a survey of 130 weather forecasters and weather casters active nationwide, \u201cmore than 90% of respondents answered that they have a sense of urgency about climate change in weather information\u201d and \u201cmore than 80% of respondents answered that more should be communicated about climate change in weather information. On the other hand, some of the reasons for the difficulties in communicating climate change during weather forecast were identified: \u201climited airtime,\u201d \u201ctoo technical and difficult,\u201d and \u201clack of interest among viewers\/readers and within the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25a0 <\/strong>Future initiatives, including collaboration with the media\u00a0
\n<\/b>The climate campaign “1.5\u00b0C Promise – Act now to stop the temperature rise” by the United Nations Information Center and the media is now in its third year, with 160 companies participating, including television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and online media from all over the country. Weather forecasters and weather casters are joining this media movement to make climate change a personal matter and to communicate solutions to the problem. In the future, in order to solve problems such as securing broadcasting slots, we will actively accept proposals from interested media personnel and increase understanding in the field and throughout the newsroom. In addition, we will also share information with experts both in Japan and abroad and work together to “communicate the connection between extreme weather and climate change,” to deepen public understanding and contribute to making the climate crisis a personal matter and changing behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n
