In August, the world's average temperature reached an unprecedented high, the hottest ever recorded in the history of observations. The recent temperature hike is indicative of intensifying global warming, sparking major concerns among environmentalists and policymakers alike. The direct impact on various aspects of life, such as agriculture, ecosystems, and human health, is also taking center-stage.

Climate change and eco-friendliness are perennial issues in Japan. The nation, considered an important player in global climate policy, is highly invested in measures combating global warming. The concern isn't purely scientific and environmental; unusual heat risks crops, disrupting food security, and increases heatstroke cases, affecting the public's health.

In the US and EU, climate change is equally paramount, with varied approaches in addressing the issue. From policy changes, green energy initiatives, to public outcry for more action, the urgency echoes Japan's concern. However, the socio-political environment unique to each region introduces different hurdles and acceleration in the fight against climate change.
