The World Economic Forum Is Coming for Your Cars – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

If the World Economic Forum (WEF) has its way, the number of cars around the world will be reduced by 75% by 2050. How ironic that the denizens of Davos who spend much of their lives being chauffeured back and forth from international conferences hate cars.

The goal is buried in a briefing paper released last month called The Urban Mobility Scorecard Tool: Benchmarking the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility. It points out that more than two-thirds of the world s population will be urban by 2050. If we are to meet their needs and achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement, the report recommends electrification, public transport and shared mobility.
