    This document discusses flooding in Japan due to climate change. Rising sea levels from temperature increase and glacier melting are exacerbating flooding. Measures to counter flooding include relocating residents, building flood gates and elevating roads. Effects of flooding are seen globally through increased storms and loss of habitat. Locally in Japan, flooding spreads disease and reduces fishery and crop productivity.
