Challenge 7: Mobility

Contexto

Currently, 50% of the world's population lives in cities. According to UN studies, the forecast is that in 2050, 70% of the population will live in metropolises. This increase in urban areas means an increase in daily commutes and poses a challenge to achieving a mobility policy that leads to a reduction and a change in the way we move, making it more sustainable and respectful of our environment, while at the same time preventing the more than 1.3 million annual deaths in traffic accidents that occur worldwide. The electrification of vehicles is playing a very important role in the automotive and energy generation industries. The challenge lies in managing electricity demand, reducing energy transmission losses, and maintaining the quality of the electricity supply.
