In light of the push for green energy, the World Economic Forum
said actions need to be taken to lessen dependence on critical
metals. Now, the WEF is calling for the end of private car
ownership.

As countries try to move to renewable energy sources, the World
Economic Forum is attempting to diminish the global dependency
on critical metals. One recommendation is to limit private
automobile ownership.

“This transition from fossil fuels to renewables will need large
supplies of critical metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, to
name a few,” the forum said in a report earlier this month.
“Shortages of these critical minerals could raise the costs of
clean energy technologies.”

The worldwide lobbying group with headquarters in Switzerland
has suggested three ways to reduce the price of crucial metals
employed in everything from wind turbines and efficient lighting
to smartphones and electric automobiles.

The forum mentioned that despite having recycling programs in
place, mining for minerals is anticipated to rise around 500% by
2050.

“More sharing can reduce ownership of idle equipment and thus
material usage,” the group stated, citing data demonstrating
that the average English automobile is driven “just 4% of the
time.”

The forum noted that programs to share vehicles like “Getaround”
and “BlueSG” had gained popularity around the world and are
crucial to lowering the demand for automobiles and technology
globally.

However, it did not discuss how car sharing may be used more
successfully in a country like the U.S., where reliance on
private vehicles is high and there is a shortage of public
transportation in both rural and urban areas.

Although most people in the world already own personal phones or
computers, the research also noted that 39% of international
workers also receive laptops and mobile phones.

“This is not at all resource efficient,” the report said.
“Keeping a smartphone for five years instead of three reduces
the phone’s annual carbon footprint by 31%.”

According to the report, businesses need incentives to promote
product repurposing and reward committed customers in order to
stop the opening of new mines.

Will they be wearing blue helmets?
