The world's annual average temperature is fluctuating and rising.
In July 2023, UN Secretary-General Guterres stated, "The age of global warming is over, and the age of global boiling has arrived."
In 2024, Japan had the highest summer temperature in western Japan, Okinawa and Amami, and the highest in eastern Japan since statistics began in 1946.
In the midst of the extremely hot summer, there are people who do their jobs in the heat for others, regardless of the harsh environment.
Biodata Bank contributes to society by informing people who work or exercise in harsh environments of risks based on objective indicators, visualizing the situation, analyzing it, and proposing improvements.
