More than a decade has passed since the Paris Agreement has adopted in 2015, but can we really say that the world has taken sufficient action to address climate change?
A substantial amount of research findings and data on climate change already exists. However, it is not always the case that these “knowledges” are generated, organized, and delivered in a format that is easily accessible to policymakers, businesses, the media, and civil society when they need it.
Launched by a group of researchers at the Institute for Future Initiatives (IFI) at the University of Tokyo, HICARI aims to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge on climate change and societal decision-making.
The project name is derived from the initials of its official name, hicari (hikari) also means “light” in Japanese, hoping that it would become a light of hope for climate action.
