☆ Japan is producing so few babies that a leading diaper maker is pivoting to adults
  + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Joshua Zitser | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The shift in business strategy is due to Japan's declining birth rate and aging population. AdvertisementA Japanese diaper maker announced that it will stop producing diapers for babies and will, instead, focus on catering to the country's aging population with adult nappies. Related storiesConcerns over the implications of a declining birth rate have led to Japanese officials sounding the alarm. AdvertisementLow birth rates and an aging population risk dramatically shrinking Japan's population, which is estimated to fall by about 30% to 87 million by 2070, The Guardian reported. Oji Holdings' pivot due to shifting demographics mirrors a similar move made by Unicharm, Japan's biggest diaper maker, over a decade ago.

☆ China and India struggle to curb fossil fuels
  + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( John Kemp | Thomson Reuters | John Kemp Is A Senior Market Analyst Specializing In Oil | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
Renewables (and gas) have been substitutes for fossil fuels such as coal and oil enabling a significant reduction in greenhouse emissions. Renewables (and gas) have served as complements to other fossil fuels – ensuring energy remains affordable and reliable even as consumption increases significantly. EMISSIONS PEAK BUT NOT SOONEventually, China and India’s energy consumption will start to grow more slowly, at which point renewables will substitute for fossil fuels rather than just complement them. Even so, in 2022, fossil fuels accounted for 82% of primary energy consumption in China and 88% in India, including 70% of total electricity generation in China and 77% in India. Policymakers from OECD countries use the U.N. conference process and other diplomatic forums to press China and India to speed up their transition from fossil fuels to zero-emission alternatives.
