This study explores how Sankangaku Renkei (a collaboration between industry, government, and academia in Japan) can improve Japanese society’s awareness of climate change. Given the recent issue of climate crisis awareness among global society, it is worrying, even though Japan has a Climate Change Adaptation Act. This study method is qualitative through some cases, which analyzes reliable data such as Japanese government policy documents, previous studies, and case study reports with a theoretical framework on the model of public awareness. This study found that Sankangaku Renkei, through its mechanism, has an important role in improving Japanese society's awareness of climate change, although accessibility is still needed for the younger generation through education. The insights gained from this study show that Sankangaku Renkei is not only a concept, but also can prove its concrete and organized efforts, where industry, government, and academia work together with each other in the same goal to combat climate change in Japan through various projects.
