The Impact of Global Warming and Responses in Nemuro City The effects of climate change are intensifying in Nemuro City, Hokkaido. Sea ice flowing from the Arctic Circle decreased to less than 30% of normal levels during the winter of 2006, leading to a roughly 20% year-on-year decline in salmon and Pacific saury catches. By the 2020s, Japan Meteorological Agency statistics show the frequency of short-duration heavy rainfall has increased to about 1.6 times that of 30 years ago, while the annual average temperature has risen by 1.2°C per century. This has led to worsening harvest declines in agriculture due to high temperatures and precipitation fluctuations. Among local companies, Nemuro Suisan Co., Ltd. is revising fishing methods and strengthening resource management, while Nemuro Nosan Co., Ltd. is promoting organic farming and introducing energy-saving agricultural machinery. Furthermore, Nemuro City has set a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by fiscal y
ear 2030 in its "Global Warming Countermeasures Promotion Implementation Plan (3rd Edition)", aiming to introduce renewable energy and promote energy conservation.
