Japan 2026
일본
Japan enters 2027 with record-low emissions, a shrinking and ageing population and one of the world’s most demanding hazard regimes. Greenhouse-gas emissions fell to 1,071 Mt CO₂e in FY2023, 23.3% below FY2013 and 27.1% lower once forest removals are counted, as renewables and nuclear together passed 30% of electricity.

01 · Readings
Japan in six readings.
Six readings that frame the Japan baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.
02 · Sectors
Six sectors, one hexagon.
Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.
- WAT물0 findings
2019 Hagibis Share of rivers and supply exposed to typhoon and flood extremes, 2019. □보고값
Ample rainfall but steep, short rivers; flood and landslide risk high; ageing pipes and seismic exposure.
- ENE에너지1 finding
>30% Renewables and nuclear in electricity, FY2023. □보고값
Record-low emissions; >30% clean power; near-total fossil import dependence.
- INF인프라not assessed
Dense, ageing networks; strong seismic codes; remote regions fragile.
- FOO식량1 finding
38% Food self-sufficiency, calorie basis, FY2023. □보고값
38% calorie self-sufficiency; feed and fertiliser largely imported.
- HLT보건2 findings
97,600 people Heatstroke ambulance transports, May–September, 2024. □보고값
Long life expectancy; heat and ageing load care each summer.
- BIO생물다양성1 finding
20.5% Land in protected areas, 2023. □보고값
High endemism; protected land about 20.5%, sea about 13.3%.
Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 2, Finance 1, SEI 2, Systemic 1, Trade 1.
03 · Hazard exposure
The hazards this edition reads.
The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings
How the sectors carry risk into each other.
The Japan matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core 시스템. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

Water: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Energy: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Food: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Health: 4 couplings out, 4 in; Biodiversity: 4 couplings out, 4 in. Infrastructure is not in the coupling matrix: none of the edition matrices types it, so it carries no value.
