00:00Around the world, the escalating impacts of climate change are fundamentally altering our
00:11planet. On the island nation of Japan, which is especially vulnerable to natural disasters,
00:17these changes aren't just impacting the environment. Deeply ingrained cultural and
00:24spiritual practices that rely on nature are disappearing.
00:43I'm Gulmaz Khan. As a journalist, I'm reporting on how climate change is endangering humanity's
00:49most sacred sites and traditions, as well as how faith-based communities around the globe
00:56are tackling this humanitarian and existential crisis with innovative solutions.
01:19In the Kino Mountains, known as the Japanese Alps, Shinto priests have recorded sacred natural
01:27events. But today, this documentation is emerging as incontrovertible proof of climate change.
01:49It's about the time that period of time, it was the beginning of the Mayberii
02:16Today's prayer is called Asami家, and it's called Asami家, and it's called Asami家.
02:46and he prayed to the Lord, and he prayed to the Lord, and he prayed to the Lord.
02:52It's about the natural things that you can use.
03:06The Japanese people have been empowered by the nature of the nature.
03:11We have assumed that the nature of the nature of the nature of the nature of the nature.
03:16I was accepted in my life, so I was able to take care of water and wind,
03:22and I was able to take care of love and love.
03:27I was able to take care of nature.
03:59Shintoism has a long, rich history in Japan, but unlike many other faith traditions, it
04:08has no founder or official scripture.
04:12Japan isn't a religious culture, but it's a deeply spiritual one.
04:18There are more than 80,000 shrines across Japan, and they receive millions of visitors
04:23every year.
04:25Spirits, deities, and ancestors, and the power they wield over the lives of humans, are concepts
04:33that permeate Japanese culture.
04:37And so people regularly visit shrines to seek blessings, protection, and guidance in their
04:42personal and communal lives.
04:50Respect for nature is also at the heart of Shinto.
04:54All shrines are surrounded by trees because the natural world, from mountains to lakes
04:59to forests, are the dwelling places of divine spirits and gods known as Kami.
05:08They're also considered the forces behind significant natural events.
05:15For centuries, the annual freezing of Lake Sua inspired awe and wonder in the Japanese imagination.
05:22This mythical phenomenon is called Omiwatari, or the crossing of the gods.
05:30But because of rising global temperatures, this natural wonder that has evoked the divine
05:35for almost a millennium, is now on the brink of vanishing.
05:42So I'm Kyota Ko, I'm the author of Japanese history and culture and folktales of Japan.
06:03So Sua Taishi Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Japan.
06:10And this is where the god Takeminakata is enshrined.
06:16He is the god that crosses Lake Sua when it's frozen and leaves ridges of ice along the path.
06:26So this is where the story begins.
06:32Takeminakata, he is a big muscular alpha god, and he lived in the north of the lake with his wife.
06:40And one day they had a quarrel and the wife was so angry she moved to the south of the lake.
06:46And one cold winter night, Takeminakata got very lonely, vulnerable, he wanted to see his wife.
06:53So very late at night, he rowed his boat across the lake and had a good time with his wife.
06:59But the next morning, before sunrise, he realized that the lake was frozen and he couldn't row his boat across.
07:06So he made a dash, and because he's so big, he left a streak of bulging ice after him.
07:15And that's called omiwatari, or god's crossing.
07:18And that's supposed to occur every winter on cold winter morning.
07:26Beyond centuries of rituals, stories, and traditions, the priests at Lake Sua have also maintained
07:34a nearly unbroken account of both omiwatari and other meteorological events.
07:42These are some of the oldest continually kept climate records in the world.
07:46And that's the most important part of this monument.
07:51The history of the river has been left 580 years, and it's been left in the village of the south.
07:57And the history of the river has been left behind this monument.
07:59This is a picture of the 1683st of the river.
08:05And this is a picture of the river that was required for the river to bring the river to bring.
08:10At first, the people who wrote the map and wrote the map.
08:15The map, the river, the temple, the temple, the temple, the temple, and the temple.
08:21The name of the村落, the name of the村落, and the name of the村落.
08:25This map is also known as the map.
08:28The map is also known as the map.
08:32The map is very cold.
08:35The map is very cold.
08:36This is the 3-10th day of the river.
08:38The river was all over the river.
08:41The wind has become warm from the river.
08:45The wind has become warm and warm.
08:48The river, the river, the river, the river that suddenly became warm.
08:53The river was full of mud, and it was all over the river.
08:58So I was looking at it and I was surprised.
09:06The sound of the wind is coming from the wind.
09:12The wind is coming from the wind.
09:20The wind is coming from the wind.
09:28so I heard that the time I was going to be in the background,
09:34but when I was in the background,
09:37I was thinking that I had something that would be difficult,
09:40and I thought that the wind was going to be in the background,
09:43but I thought that the wind was moving to the ground.
09:47So I had to go back to the ground,
09:51and I went to the ground and went to the road,
09:54and I thought that I was able to look for it,
09:57It is worth mentioning that this was a huge one.
10:11The Arctic is about 50 years and a year or two.
10:18So, in 1970, and in 2000, the population has changed.
10:25The rate of 3% can be achieved.
10:29The name of the people who were confirmed and the name of the people were reported.
10:38The year was the year that was the year.
10:42For example, there was a lot of rain, a lot of rain, or a lot of rain, or a lot of rain, or a lot of rain.
10:50This is the result of the weather situation and the results of the plants.
10:55The lengthening absence of Omiwatari is an indisputable indicator of climate change.
11:24Such cultural losses aren't simply fading rituals of a bygone era.
11:29They're woven into the fabric of Japan's modern identity.
11:36But the degradation of Lake Suwa in recent decades has inspired local residents to take action
11:42towards safeguarding its future.
13:15It was a very interesting picture, but it was a very interesting picture.
13:20This is a good picture, right?
13:23Yes, it was a good picture.
13:25There was a skate link, so it was a lot of fun.
13:29It was a lot of fun, but it was okay.
13:32So, so, so.
13:34It was a lot of fun.
13:37It's like, when I get the seat, I get the seat.
13:41It's like, I'm scared, right?
13:43I think it's a lot of fun.
13:45I'm scared of a lot of fun.
13:47It's a lot of fun.
13:49It's a lot of fun.
13:51It's a lot of fun.
13:53It's a lot of fun.
13:56It's a lot of fun for me.
13:58So, I can't find myself.
14:02I was drinking water at the time.
14:09I went to skate and I had a skater.
14:15I drank water at the time.
14:18I drank water at the time.
14:21I drank water at the time.
14:32I was able to get water at the time.
14:39I went to skate and I got to go to the house.
14:46I was able to get water at the time.
14:51I was able to get water at the time.
14:54I was able to get water at the time.
14:58I can't pick up that stuff, so I'm going to enjoy it.
15:06I want to make a place to make a place in a place where I'm going.
15:17I worked as a filmmaker in Tokyo, as a filmmaker, as a freelance artist.
15:28I was in 2000 years old, and I was in the countryside.
15:35I was in the countryside, but there was a lot of garbage.
15:44I was in the middle of a lot, but it was a lot of garbage.
15:51I was in the middle of a lot.
15:56I started my friends with my friends, and it was about 15 years ago, this is what I wanted to do with SWACO.
16:12Now, the climate change is a problem in the world.
16:21I think there's a lot of influence in the surrounding area.
16:36How do we deal with this situation?
16:39I think it's a big problem for everyone.
16:51ор比谷家人は 偉大し聖なる湖
17:00そういう意識は monster
17:02だから宮足とかそういう現象に対しても
17:05ここには神が宿っているような
17:07そういう市民の感覚はありますよね
17:14それでやっぱり皆の心が一つになって
17:18蘇ると聖なる湖も
17:21I think I'm going to be happy.
17:39A lot of us are familiar with the feeling of nostalgia, right?
17:42It's a pretty universal human experience.
17:45It's that sense of longing or grief
17:47when we're separated from something we love,
17:50either by distance or time.
17:55But there's another concept called solastalgia,
17:58and it captures the grief specifically caused
18:01by environmental change
18:03as we watch the places we hold most dear
18:05degrade and disappear.
18:09This community has witnessed Omiwatari for centuries,
18:13the freezing of the lake, the crossing of the gods.
18:15Today, they're experiencing a slow, ongoing loss.
18:23We often think of climate impacts as sudden and violent,
18:27wildfires, floods, storms.
18:29This is a different kind of experience and no less devastating.
18:33It's essentially the feeling of homesickness while still being at home.
18:41The community doesn't know if and when Omiwatari will form again,
18:45or whether their children or grandchildren will experience the same awe
18:50as their ancestors before them.
18:51For Mimose and the priests of Lake Sua,
18:59the disappearance of Omiwatari is both an omen and an admonition.
19:03It represents the cataclysmic consequences
19:06of disharmony between humans and nature.
19:09A hundred miles southeast of Lake Sua,
19:15Japan's largest city is also on high alert.
19:26Greater Tokyo is home to nearly 40 million people.
19:31It's not only the largest city in the world,
19:34it also sits on a massive floodplain whose five rivers regularly overflow.
19:41Deep beneath the city, there's a vast concrete temple,
19:45the world's largest underground water diversion system.
19:52I've been told that Japan is a disaster disaster.
19:57Japan has been a disaster disaster,
19:59and there are many kinds of disasters.
20:02There are many kinds of disasters that exist in many years.
20:07I'm a Spanish teacher at the University of Lake Sua,
20:09who is a guide to the doctor,
20:11and I'm studying as a machine.
20:13I'm a scientist at the University of Lake Sua and Hawaii University.
20:16I'm a scientist,
20:17and I'm studying at the University of Lake Sua,
20:19in the very very special projects.
20:20I'm doing this program now,
20:26and I'm working with my science to show the emotional damage.
20:28We are currently working with the포agelimans
20:29and Halo,
20:30قっている 特に気象災害が非常に大きくなってきているという現実があります
20:35将来のことを考えると、雨の降り方が日本全体で
20:40今と比べて10%から30%くらい強くなる、そういう予報があるわけですね
20:45そうすると、場所によっては洪水の起こる頻度や被害が2倍近くになると
20:51そういう予想もあるわけです
20:53The most important thing is that in the area of the area of the 30% of the coastline,
21:03there are 1,000,000,000,000 people who are living in the area.
21:07So, if there is a big disaster, there will be a huge threat.
21:13This is a big tank in the area of the city.
21:26It started in 1993, 2006.
21:31This is the area of the area of the city.
21:36The area of the city is powerful.
21:43The area of the area of the city can be used by 200 tons of water.
21:47It can be used by 25 meters of pool.
21:52At the same time, the area of the city has not been driving.
21:57However, if there is a power in the future,
22:00it will be alive.
22:06The Japanese people, with the environment of their own lives,
22:12they are in the area of the city.
22:15They are in the area of the city,
22:17which they are living in the area of the city.
22:19At the same time, the agricultural system is controlled.
22:24The main area of the city is controlled.
22:27And as long as the environment of the city is controlled,
22:29people tend to have no nice things to move.
22:34In Japanese, there's a word for emotions that transcend language,
22:59yugen. It's those indescribable experiences of all wonder and mystery. The Japanese playwright
23:07Sayami Motokyo wrote that it's the feeling when you gaze after a boat that disappears
23:12behind distant islands, or when you wander in a huge forest without thought of return.
23:23Japan's embrace of high-tech future-proofing isn't its sole response to the threat of climate change.
23:29It also possesses one of the most powerful nature-based solutions, healthy forests.
23:37Woodlands cover 67% of the country, from its highest mountains down to the sea.
23:44For centuries, forests have been places of pilgrimage and veneration,
23:49a connection between the earthly and spiritual realms.
23:52But today, Japan's forests lack the biodiversity necessary for effective carbon capture or climate
24:01resilience. Many of them are fast-growing, shallow-rooted cedar and cypress monocultures
24:09that are vulnerable to landslides, pests, and other climate impacts.
24:23Remarkably, Shinto Shrine Forests, or Chinjunomori, represent some of the few remaining native forests
24:30forests in Japan, and hold a uniquely powerful climate solution in their roots.
24:34Shinto Yori
24:52The nature of nature is the God of nature.
24:54Like the sky, the water, the sea, the sea, the sea, etc.
24:58All of those are the God of nature.
25:07The temple of the Shinto and the Shinto temple is a place to pray.
25:11It is a place to pray and be a place to pray.
25:14It is a place to pray.
25:17It is a place to pray.
25:22I think that the Japanese people, the Japanese people, is a way of thinking about the future, the present, the present, the future, the present, and the future.
25:36The present people in the present are what they can do as a形, but what they can leave for their children,
25:45This means that our ancestors taught us how to connect with our ancestors and how to connect with our ancestors.
25:59The nature of the land is the heart of the Japanese people.
26:04The Japanese people have been growing up in the old age of 8000 years ago.
26:15The ancient people were afraid of the disaster in the disaster.
26:20The river was to destroy the disaster of the natural disaster.
26:26The river was to protect the natural disaster.
26:28The river was to protect our lives from the natural disaster.
26:32The river was to protect our lives from the natural disaster.
26:34This is the name of the river.
26:40My name is石村彩子.
26:43The NPO団体地球の緑を育てる会の理事長です.
27:02I'm from草山清和.
27:08草山家がこの秦野の地に住み出したのは800年前からです。
27:13そして1600年からの歴史として18代になり、今に至っているわけです。
27:21この二人の2ショットってことで、これはですね、
27:31あの、川内村っていうところに行ったときに、
27:34お食事祭やったときの2ショットなんです。
27:3830 years ago, Ayako Ishimura and Kiyokazu Kusayama were students of the celebrated botanist and plant ecologist, Dr. Akira Miyawaki.
27:49It was Dr. Miyawaki who first recognized that chinju no mori, or shrine forests, were the key to a simple but revolutionary approach to soil and forest regeneration.
28:01で、宮城先生はチンジュの森を非常に注意して研究された。
28:07で、そのチンジュの森のヒントの中から、宮城方式という独特の食事の方法が生まれました。
28:15で、そこからヒントを得て、それからくまなく日本国中の土地を歩いて、
28:22そして、日本植生史という本10巻にまとめ上げられた。
28:28それが一番最初の彼の偉大な仕事だと思う。
28:32この土地は、本来宅地になる土地でありました。
28:49その宅地に、Akira Miyawaki先生と1700人のボランティアが集まって、
28:5712000本の苗を植えました。
29:01なぜ、ここに森を作りたかったのか。
29:06街中に森を作ることによって、みんなの心を癒し、
29:11命を大切にする神道の心を伝えたかったからです。
29:22宮城の森の主となるものは、常緑紅葉樹を使います。
29:27宮城方式の植える常緑紅葉樹は、もちろん根っこが深いです。
29:32それを多種類、多種類を非常な密度をもって植えます。
29:38この森づくりは、Akira Miyawakiの指導により作られた森です。
29:53この森に入ってくると、空気が変わっています。
29:58すがすがしい気持ちになります。
30:01この森を作ったことで、たくさんの微生物が生まれ、
30:07そして大きな小動物が生まれ、その後には、
30:12鳥や小さな動物がたくさん入ってくる、
30:16命の多様性の森になりました。
30:19作られて17年となりますが、
30:26もう10メートルを超える素晴らしい森ができております。
30:35そのことによって、宮城先生が、
30:38常に幸せのためにという、そんなことを思い出します。
30:43幸せのために木を植えるんだと。
30:46木を植えることによって、心に木を植える、
30:50自然環境を植えるということになります。
31:01信じてる人たち、Kusayamaさんは、

31:34Tabletを上がり、
31:35健康に一人たちの相性が伝え、
31:36and our collective well-being depends on honoring that sacred bond.
31:44Dr. Miyawaki's method for planting rapidly growing, biodiverse forests caught the attention
31:51of faith leaders across Japan, and not only from the Shinto tradition.

33:05I'm Doruhiyoki. I'm the 44th abbot of Rinoji Temple in Sendai.
33:23My family was associated with this temple around 120 years.
33:34The temple was brought to me in the temple of Rinoji Temple in Sendai.
33:41On the other hand, the temple was brought to be the temple of Rinoji Temple in Sendai.
33:50I was given the temple of Rinoji Temple in Sendai.
33:57O muji, ho, sam, si, yi, si, pu, pu, si, som, bu, sa, moku, sa, moku, sa, moku, sa, moku, sa, moku, sa, mo, sa, moku, sa, moku, sa, moku, sa, moku, sa, moku.
34:13Buddhism was founded around 2500 years ago.
34:20During the meditation, we try to empty our mind, a natural mind.
34:27We have also three poisons in our mind,
34:31greenness and stupidity.
34:37Buddha said, at first we should release the three poison in our mind,
34:43so it make our society better, peaceful.
34:57But we can't find the way we can live in our country,
35:03so that we can live in our lives.
35:08I'm not sure if we can live in our lives.
35:12We have to stay in a bit while we are living in our lives.
35:17We're living in our lives.
35:23I spend 20 minutes every day in this village.
35:28The purpose of the Japanese village is to make it clear to the heart.
35:38The purpose of the Zen is to follow the rules of nature.
35:47If we continue to work against nature,
35:51nature will revenge to humans.
36:21When the pandemic happened in the Cold War,
36:29I was in the temple.
36:31The buildings were huge.
36:33After that, it was a magnitude of 9.
36:35This was 19.2.
36:37After 5 or 6.
36:40After 5,000,000 people,
36:42there were 200-300 people who were in tsunami.
36:48I realized what was happening.
36:50I thought it was not happening.
36:56It was all destroyed,
36:59and it was not a project.
37:01I lost all of the buildings and buildings.
37:08I feel like it's really like a disaster.
37:18After the 2011 earthquake, Dr. Miyawaki came to the disaster area with me.
37:26We started to research at the coastal area.
37:30He discovered one tree left standing on the beach, which is tabunoki and which has a deep root and survived.
37:45I thought it was a miracle. This is a real forest.
37:50And so I understood real forest is much stronger than artificial forest.
37:57In the aftermath of the costliest natural disaster in recorded world history,
37:59Hiyoki Doryu and Dr. Miyawaki came to realize that his protective forests weren't just useful.
38:03In the aftermath of the costliest natural disaster in recorded world history,
38:09in the aftermath of the costliest natural disaster in recorded world history,
38:16Hiyoki Doryu and Dr. Miyawaki came to realize that his protective forests weren't just useful in fighting climate change.
38:28They could also mitigate the worst effects of natural disasters.
38:3220 years ago, Miyawaki came to realize that there was a place of natural disasters.
38:3920 years ago, Miyawaki learned about the Miyawaki method and has been planting forests ever since.
39:06The aim of the Miyawaki method is to create a natural forest, a very biodiverse natural forest.
39:18We make a multi-layered forest.
39:21And a multi-layered forest would consist of canopy trees, sub-canopy trees and shrubs.
39:26And first, this is a tree that would make up the canopy.
39:31This is called tabunoki in Japanese.
39:34It's the tree that Dr. Miyawaki loved the most.
39:38This is a camellia, a camellia japonica.
39:46And it's in the sub-canopy layer.
39:48It grows to maybe about 20 meters high.
39:51This is the masaki tree.
39:54It is the shrub layer.
39:56Very strong tree and grows everywhere.
40:00In addition to a diversity of species, Miyawaki forests are, by design, planted very densely.
40:09As trees compete for water and sunlight, this leads to extremely fast growth rates.
40:14A Miyawaki forest grows like one meter a year.
40:21And so this is a forest that's one year old.
40:26And over here, you can see a forest that's four years old.
40:30So there's quite a difference here.
40:34Compared to a traditional forest, a Miyawaki forest grows about 10 times faster.
40:41For example, a natural forest would take about 200 years, 300 years to mature.
40:47Whereas a Miyawaki forest would take about 20 years or 30 years.
40:52It's not the best people like the forest.
40:57This is an essential forest of the wilderness and the forest.
40:59It's about 300 years old.
41:00So there are many people who are on the ground.
41:02If there are not enough burdens, I would like to have them.
41:04We would like to have them start a formal forest.
41:06We would like to ride a forest with a young man.
41:07I would like to ride a forest and a forest plant.
41:09You should be riding in the best welches.
41:12There's my high school skating storm.
41:14But I would like to ride a tree in the forest.
41:16I'd like to ride a tree of a tree.
41:19In our roles, I will take a closer look at the face in the face of the world.
41:27So thank you very much...
41:28White
41:49Take care.
41:55Today and tomorrow, we will have a thousand thousand trees.
42:00Thank you so much.
42:03Today's event is about 1,000 acres of trees to grow,
42:14and there are 33 volunteers from all over the world.
42:18現在までですね57万5000本ぐらいですかね食事に携わっていただいたボランティアの数が6万2000人少し超えているような状況です
42:37名前は日川誠珍珠の森のプロジェクトの事務局長をしています
42:48日本全国どこでも災害に強い命を守る森を作るとそういう活動をしています
43:00私たちが想像するに津波そのものを止めることはできない 前回の津波も私たちの想像を超えたエネルギーで来たものですからすごい被害が出てくるわけですけど
43:16津波そのものを止めることはできないけれども津波の力を半減させるぐらいの威力のある防潮堤を作っているつもりです
43:30費用もコンクリートの防潮堤に比べれば安い建造物ともいえる なので緑の防潮堤を作る
43:43コンクリートの防潮堤と緑の防潮堤の本質的な違いはコンクリートの防潮堤は作ったときが一番強い
43:5250年経つと壊れる
43:54私たちの緑の防潮堤は作ったときは一番弱いけれど50年後には一番強い防潮堤になる
44:01コンクリートの防潮堤は作ったときは
44:13コンクリートに避けたときはコンクリートの環境に保存されます
44:20Tens of billions of dollars were spent on hundreds of miles of barriers.
44:28But while concrete may have the upper hand in the short term,
44:31when it comes to sustainable climate resilience, green seawalls are superior.
44:49The fishing town of Kesanuma was one of the hardest hit by the disaster.
45:02Here, the ruins of the local high school remain unchanged.
45:10A reminder of what it means to coexist alongside unpredictable forces.
45:19To be continued...
45:49Despite the trauma its people endured,
45:52the community of Kesennuma opted for a future
45:55without concrete walls.

46:43When the people of Casenuma decided against the construction of a tide barrier, they did
47:05so based on their deep understanding of the local interconnected environment.
47:11For generations, they've studied the precise conditions under which life flourishes, which
47:17is why they planted tens of thousands of trees in the mountains that line the rivers feeding
47:22into Casenuma Bay.
47:41This is a reality.
47:47My name is畠山誠.
47:49It's called NPO保持森輪海の恋人福利寺をしています.
48:26This is a real place.
48:33It's called the畑山正之.
48:41The river of the river of the river of the river of the river of the river of the river.
48:46This is where the water of the river of the river of the river.
48:50So there are lots of plants that have been happening with the river.
48:54So I think it's really good to be able to make it so I think it's really good.
49:06The history of nature and nature has been very long, so it's been a long time now.
49:15The oyster farmers of Tessunuma thought they'd lost everything in the 2011 tsunami, but
49:34their farms recovered remarkably quickly.
49:39Scientists determined that the nutrient-rich forests that they'd planted made the marine
49:43ecosystem more resilient to natural disasters.
49:47It was a testament to the importance of local knowledge in implementing successful climate
49:52solutions.
50:43The sea is very rare, but the sea is a natural, and the sea is very rare.
50:50The sea is very rare, and the sea is very rare.
50:56The sea is about 1.5-2.
51:02I think it's important to think about the nature of the land and the nature of the land and the nature of the land and the nature of the land.
51:22In nature, humans can't win.
51:26So, we can't take it as we can,
51:30and we can't take it as we can.
51:42Over the next century, our planet will witness
51:45a sustained period of sea level rise,
51:48unparalleled in the history of human civilization.
51:52Extreme weather will batter small coastal villages
51:58and flood megacities.
52:01Tsunamis alongside rising oceans will increase in height.
52:12As the world invests in scalable solutions,
52:15Japan's Shinto Shrine forests,
52:17the dwellings of the divine,
52:19offer a vital nature-based solution.
52:22From their carbon capture potential to their role in coastal protection and nurturing oceans,
52:28forests are a talisman against a fearsome future.
52:31Dr. Miyawaki was involved in planting more than 40 million native trees
52:38at over 1,700 sites across the globe.
52:41The beautiful thing about these forests is that anyone anywhere in the world can plant one of their own.
52:50You don't need to be a scientist or engineer or billionaire to be part of the solution.
52:56Protecting and restoring nature remains one of our greatest hopes for the future,
53:02and for the survival of our most sacred sites.
53:10Will the next generation of priests at Lake Suwa ever witness the Omiwatari?
53:15Will the gods cross the frozen lake once again?

53:24Will the gods cross the united states.
53:25Will the gods cross the ocean?
53:26Will the gods cross our shores?
53:27It can be is a people from one of the on-air.
53:28It can be seen by a chance.
53:29Will the gods cross the plan,
53:30in a way,
