⚡ Clean Energy Production Up 2x in Japan
Between 2012 and 2021, Japan’s renewable energy electricity production more than doubled, rising from 100TWh to over 210TWh. According to the Sixth Strategic Energy Plan, this increase aligns with policies to cut fossil fuel reliance, boost energy security, and expand renewables, targeting 36-38% in the energy mix by 2030. Measures like feed-in tariffs and a phased reduction of coal plants underscore Japan’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050.
⚕️ >25% Rise in Danish Males With Cancer From 2008 to 2020
Between 2008 and 2020, Denmark saw a notable increase in cancer cases, with male diagnoses rising from 18,775 to a peak of 23,590 in 2019 and female cases increasing from 18,090 to 22,010. To address this, the government’s Cancer Plan IV targeted early detection and improved care pathways, while public health initiatives focused on lifestyle changes, such as reducing smoking rates, to lower cancer risk and enhance patient outcomes.
