G7 needs to help emerging economies to cut down emissions, says Japan’s Nishimura

Sapporo (Japan): Influential and rich nations which comprise the Group of Seven need to act to help emerging economies reduce emissions, including providing finance for decarbonisation of industries, Japan’s economy and trade minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said on Saturday.

Ministers from G7 countries are meeting for climate and energy talks in northern Japan’s Sapporo on Saturday and Sunday. The discussions are being held in the Asian country as part of Japan’s G7 presidency this year.

Security concerns arose on Saturday after an explosion disrupted an outdoor speech by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

The premier was unharmed and police subdued a man at the scene. Kishida’s foreign minister said there would be no change to G7 security. The group’s foreign ministers are also meeting from Sunday in the resort city of Karuizawa.

“We, the G7, need to not only reduce our own emissions, but also take concrete actions to achieve emission reductions globally,” Economy and Trade Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said in opening remarks for the environment and energy meeting, adding that this included countries in the “Global South”.

Nishimura said ministers would like to discuss ways of financing the reduction of carbon in industries such as chemicals, shipping and steel.

The ministers in Sapporo are due to discuss the growing importance of critical minerals for the clean energy transition and the need to prevent economic and security risks caused by vulnerable supply chains and monopolization, among other topics, the latest draft communique seen by Reuters showed.

The issue of emissions in emerging markets has long been a focus for developed countries. However, the world’s richest countries need to do more to help emerging nations reduce carbon, said Alden Meyer, a senior associate at E3G, a climate change think tank.

“There’s a responsibility for the G7 and other developed countries to provide finance and to mobilise private finance as well to help the decarbonisation of the developing countries,” Meyer told a briefing ahead of the beginning of the G7 meeting.

There needs to be “much stronger leadership” from G7 countries in leveraging financial and technology resources to help developing countries reduce emissions, Meyer said.

Australian Man Sets World Record By Performing 3,206 Push-Ups In One Hour

Mr Lucas performed 3,206 push ups within one hour.

Even a normal gymgoer finds it difficult to complete 100 pushups or more in a day, but an Australian man broke the record for the most pushups performed in an hour by completing more than 3000.

According to Guinness World Records, Lucas Helmke, 33, from Brisbane, Australia, has pushed his strength and stamina to their limits to break the most push-ups in one hour world record. Lucas performed 3,206 push-ups within one hour-that's an average of over 53 per minute. The previous record of 3,182 was set by another Australian, Daniel Scali, in April 2022.

Lucas attempted this record to "provide inspiration" for his one-year-old son and "show him nothing is impossible." Lucas trained for two to three years to break this record. The official attempt took place in his old powerlifting gym, Iron Underground, in Brisbane. Lucas broke the push-ups down into 30-second sets, aiming to complete 26 push-ups in each one. Lucas slightly exceeded this target, achieving an average rate of 26.7 push-ups every 30 seconds, the record-keeping organisation further reported.

Lucas was required to maintain perfect form for each push up; otherwise, they wouldn't count towards the record total.

The body must remain straight throughout, meaning there can be no bending at the knees or waist. The body must be lowered until at least a 90-degree angle is attained at the elbow, then raised until the arms are straight.

After achieving this Guinness World Records title, Lucas is not resting on his laurels-he plans to break at least one record every year from now on.

"This will be the first record I wish to set out of a number of other push-up records. Then onto other physical records.," Lucas said.
