A revolution in Japan?
I just got a university-wide email (so it's a ministry directive) that ends "Cool Biz!"
Now, every employee should dress according to their needs and to the actual temperature!!!
Japan is changing!
For those who don't know, "Cool Biz" is a policy that started in 2005 to use less electricity. Air conditioning in the country's offices shouldn't be set lower than 28°C and office workers were allowed to wear more "relaxed" outfits (i.e. short sleeve shirts, drop the jacket of their suit, etc - nothing fancy, shorts were not allowed).
The only change to the policy came a couple of years ago when they started to acknowledge climate change. Cool Biz was from July to September, it was extended from June to October.
And apparently, that's the end of it. Japan is starting to realize that to know if it's hot or cold, you check a thermometer and not the calendar.
It doesn't affect me directly, as I'm not an office worker, but I wonder if the engineering campus will realize that starting A/C in July only (and blocking the thermostat too high) is not a good idea anymore in this day and age (classrooms facing south have become unhealthy in summer over there, I'm not joking - students have fainted in the past)

"In #Spain businesses are leading the way and mandating workers finish (and start) their gig earlier.
[#Japan] launched its “#CoolBiz” policy almost two decades ago.
As well as asking workers to don short sleeve shirts, the government’s recommendations include keeping office #thermostats to 28°C or above, getting staff to come into work earlier, allowing workers to take longer #holidays in the summer, and banning #overtime."

#Coolbiz was a society changing campaign in Japan to raise the temperatures at work together with a relaxation of dress code. Goal was the reduction of electicity consumption by air conditioning due to electricity shortages, but it had positive effects on the emissions. This finally arrived at home, too.
More countries and work places should adopt it!
Here it would be the reduction of heating, which is #warmbiz for the winter times.
