Admin’s Note

This article discusses the current situation in Asia, where extreme weather events are claiming many lives. In particular, the likelihood of heatwaves and heavy rainfall continuing in the future is high, and these events will impact our daily lives. The reaction from children is also notable, as it is important for them to become aware of these issues. I believe that efforts to deepen understanding of climate change and its risks are necessary in educational settings as well.
