In order to deal with global climate change, it is necessary to simultaneously advance both ``mitigation'', which reduces greenhouse gases themselves, and ``adaptation'', which takes measures to reduce the damage caused by climate change. In the field of climate change impact assessment, attention has been focused on the impact on “cities”, and reducing the damage caused by climate change to urban residents and preserving their Quality of Life (QoL) is considered an important issue.

The advent of Society 5.0 introduces an integrated approach where technology enhances every aspect of life, emphasizing the importance of adapting to climate change and enhancing disaster resilience. This course delves into how advanced technological innovations, such as CASE (Connected, Automated, Shared, Electrification) and electric vehicles (EVs), are pivotal in developing strategies for increased resilience to environmental challenges. We place a special focus on sectors like ski resorts, which are particularly vulnerable to climate variability. Through examining a variety of adaptive measures—from strengthening infrastructure to comprehensive disaster preparedness—we aim to uncover how modern societies can navigate the challenges posed by climate change. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, the goal is to protect against future environmental threats while promoting sustainable growth.

Promoting longer durability of city is pivotal in fostering a sustainable societal model, shifting away from the prevalent "Flow-based Society" towards a more resilient "Stock-based Society." It's imperative to broaden our sustainability framework to encompass not just energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and climate change but also resource use. Embracing the principles of a Stock-based Society, which prioritizes resource preservation and reuse, can significantly mitigate CO2 emissions by reducing the need for continuous production and minimizing waste generation.
