'The Guardian' reports that President Joe Biden
plans to use his executive authority to
create the American Climate Corps.
The New Deal-style program
is meant as a major green
jobs training program.
On September 20, the White House
said that the program would employ
approximately 20,000 young adults. .
The program is intended to make new trails,
plant trees, install solar panels and otherwise
help boost conservation efforts.
'The Guardian' reports that the program is also
meant to help prevent catastrophic wildfires.
Biden's previous efforts to form a climate corps
have been thwarted by Congress amid strong
opposition from Republicans and funding concerns.
The new program is modeled after Franklin D Roosevelt's
Civilian Conservation Corps, which was
created in the 1930s as part of the New Deal.
Lawmakers who have pushed for the program
to be formed have cited deadly heatwaves,
dangerous floods and devastating wildfires.
'The Guardian' reports that the White House
declined to offer details as to the cost of the
program or where that funding will come from.
White House climate adviser Ali Zaidi said the program would partner with at least six federal agencies and ten states that have already begun similar programs

Japan Says First Release , of Treated Radioactive Water , From Fukushima Complete.
On September 11, the operator of the Fukushima
nuclear power plant said that it had completed the first
release of treated radioactive water into the ocean.
'The Independent' reports that the company said
it would inspect and clean the facility before
beginning the next release in the coming weeks.
On August 24, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
plant first began discharging treated and
diluted wastewater into the Pacific Ocean.
The radioactive water has been accumulating
since 2011 when the plant was damaged
by a massive earthquake and tsunami. .
'The Independent' reports that the first
release comes as a milestone in the
decommissioning of the wrecked power plant.

However, the decades-long process of releasing the
radioactive water has met with strong opposition
by neighboring countries and fishing groups.
In response to the discharge,
China has imposed a ban on all
imports of Japanese seafood. .
The decision, which has impacted both
producers and exporters, prompted Japan
to open an emergency relief fund.
While speaking at a G20 summit last week, Prime Minister
Fumio Kishida stressed the safety and transparency of
the process in an attempt to win international support.

New Report Highlights , Japan's Population Concerns.
Fox News reports that nearly a third of
18-year-old women in Japan may never
have children, according to new data.
According to the National Institute of Population
and Social Security Research (IPSS), 33.4%
of women born in 2005 will remain childless. .
The August 30 report's most optimistic scenario
saw 24.6% of women that age not having
children. The worst outcome was as high as 46%.
In June, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida vowed to
deal with the population crisis with measures that include
larger payouts for families with three or more children. .

larger payouts for families with three or more children. .
According to a Kyodo News poll, approximately
two-thirds of people in Japan do not feel hopeful
that the government's policies will be effective.
The survey reportedly shows that
the number of children in Japan has
been declining for over forty years. .
Fox News reports that the IPSS based
its report on factors like age of marriage
when estimating future fertility rates. .
According to Miho Iwasawa, the IPSS's director of
population dynamics research, the decline in births can
be attributed to people getting married later in life.
The cost of raising children is also a factor. Between 1975 and 2021, data shows that tuition
at private universities in Japan increased five-fold.
According to the IPSS, Japan's current
population of 126.15 million is projected
to drop to 87 million by the year 2070

Japan is to begin releasing wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant from Thursday, in defiance of opposition from fishing communities, China and some scientists. Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, has said that disposing of more than 1m tonnes of water being stored at the site is an essential part of the long and complex process to decommission the plant. He also said that said authorities would go forward with the release on August 24 "if they encounter no obstacles." The decision was made after the government held a cabinet meeting to discuss the issue. But the plan, announced by Kishida on Tuesday, has caused controversy because the water contains tritium, a radioactive substance that can’t be removed by the facility’s water filtration technology.

US President Joe Biden sealed new security cooperation with Japan and South Korea as he hosted the leaders of the Asian countries in three-way talks at Camp David. Biden also praised the "political courage" of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in turning the page on their historical animosity. Japan and South Korea have had strained relations dating back to Japan's 1910-1945 occupation of Korea. After the summit, the White House statement read, "We do so at a time of unparalleled opportunity for our countries and our citizens, and at a hinge point of history, when geopolitical competition, the climate crisis, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, and nuclear provocations test us.”
