Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Japan is deploying artificial intelligence and sensor technology to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather and climate change. Initially, the Environment Ministry launched a pilot program targeting heatstroke prevention among the elderly. This initiative uses AI-based systems to estimate core body temperatures via smartwatches, monitors indoor temperatures to alert family members, and automates air conditioning. The project aims to address high fatality rates among seniors living alone and is intended for widespread adoption by fiscal 2027 if successful. Efforts have expanded to broader urban resilience in Tokyo, where the city is integrating AI and cloud computing to analyze data from sensors monitoring temperature, humidity, air quality, and water levels. These systems assist in identifying vulnerable areas and forecasting risks for both heatwaves and torrential rains. Specific measures include platforms to visualize flood risks and the exploration of autonomous cooling solutions, such as mobile cold-chain units and specialized temperature-reducing fabrics. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: Tokyo implements AI and cooling tech for climate resilience Tokyo is utilizing artificial intelligence and mobile cooling technologies to prepare for extreme weather, including heatwaves and flooding, to enhance urban resilience and public safety. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tokyo-implements-ai-and-cooling-tech-for-climate-resilience ### 2026-08-13: Japan tests AI technology to prevent heatstroke in elderly Japan is testing AI and sensor technology to prevent heatstroke among the elderly by monitoring body temperatures and automatically managing air conditioning to reduce indoor heat risks. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/japan-tests-ai-technology-to-prevent-heatstroke-in-elderly --- Cite as: Japan AI technology for climate resilience.
