The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding the public reduce private automobile ownership by 75% by the year 2050.
QUICK FACTS:
- The WEF recently outlined a new plan, pushing to reduce private car ownership by 75% in order to comply with the climate goals in the “Paris Agreement,” a legally binding international treaty on so-called “climate change.”
- “Electrifying private vehicles is not enough to achieve the emissions reduction targets agreed in the Paris Agreement on climate,” the WEF outlined in its report, titled “The Urban Mobility Scorecard Tool: Benchmarking the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility.”
- The organization’s solution to reducing the number of vehicles on the road includes “priority for cycling and walking.”
- “Electrification needs to be accelerated in sync with a powerful push towards more efficient, accessible and connected public transport, improved infrastructure and priority for cycling and walking, and integration of emerging mobility solutions such as shared mobility to create a suite of options to meet the wide-ranging needs of people moving about cities,” the organization claimed.
- “That means expanding public and shared transport systems, embracing innovations in connected and autonomous technology, and delivering more compact cities fit for walking and cycling,” the group continued.
WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM ON “REDUCING” VEHICLE OWNERSHIP OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS:
“Growing the use of shared, electric, connected and automated (SEAM) transport modes and a shift to more compact cities could reduce projected vehicle numbers in 2050 to just half a billion,” the WEF said.
BACKGROUND:
- In January 2023, a Davos speaker explicitly outlined the World Economic Forum’s agenda when he stated that the goal was to create a “new world order.”
- The remarks were made during the annual elitist confab at the time by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
- “Here at WEF, there’s a lot of discussion about what the new world order will be, how do we work towards that new normative international order that allows us to address our differences and disputes as the civilized world,” Zardari said.
- “I hope this time around, once we’re building this new world order or new rules based order, the voice of the global south and the developing world is included,” the speaker continued.
