However, the Third Education Promotion Basic Plan, a major education reform policy signed in 2018, aims to encourage collaboration between primary schools, secondary schools, universities, and businesses to promote sustainable development learning. Notably, the policy provided additional support to schools associated with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). One of UNESCO\u2019s key principles is Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). As of 2023, Japan has 1,115 UNESCO-associated schools, which serve as a climate education model for other primary and secondary schools across the country.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Additionally, Japan has incorporated conservation education into elementary and high schools through several unique programs:\u00a0<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">The first is the study of the Banzu Tidal Flats\u00a0(\u76e4\u5dde\u5e72\u6f5f <i>banzu higata<\/i>). The largest natural tidal flat in Tokyo Bay, this important ecosystem is a key feature of Kaneda Elementary School education. Students learn about the tidal flats through plays and art before gaining hands-on experience with the animals that live there.

As a string of islands large and small, Japan\u2019s geography makes it vulnerable to natural disasters.

Here are a few examples of instructions and practices that help to prepare for emergencies:<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both children and adults are expected to memorize the location of evacuation sites, as well as how to get there from home, school, or work. A 2019 advertisement from the Ad Council of Japan targeted families in particular, encouraging them to go on <i>b\u014dsai sanpo<\/i> (\u9632\u707d\u6563\u6b69 Disaster Preparedness Walks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) to memorize evacuation routes, taking note of possible dangerous spots along the way such as tall buildings or rivers. Even if someone is new to an area, signs in Japanese and English leading to evacuation sites help to inform and direct people in emergencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another means of preparing for a natural disaster is to pre-pack supplies for easy access.

NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has articles describing what can happen during a natural disaster, and what to do in case you experience one, in easy-to-read Japanese. These can be accessed on their website <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NHK News Web Easy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and include furigana (readings of the kanji characters) as well as definitions of more difficult vocabulary terms.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Japan\u2019s disaster preparedness education serves as a model for other countries\u2019 response to climate-related catastrophes. In 2015, Japan hosted a UN Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, educating other countries on their experience with disaster preparation and recovery. While most of their advice revolved around infrastructure upgrades and central and local government cooperation, Japanese officials shared the importance of disaster education.\u00a0<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Japan\u2019s earthquake and tsunami preparedness strategies can also be applied to climate-related disasters in other parts of the world.

During the winter monsoon period (late September to late March), eastward winds transport moisture from the Sea of Japan.
