Green dream or social nightmare? Cobalt at the crossroads of electric mobility

Child labour, human rights violations, and environmental harm. The rush for cobalt sheds light on the downside of the electric dream. And while researchers are looking for technological alternatives for our electric vehicles’ batteries, NGOs warn of repeating the mistakes of the fossil-fuel industry: “We are at a crossroads. The green transition must go fast but needs to be fair, otherwise, we will look back on this critical time with regret”

Urban scenarios of decarbonisation: the last-mile logistics challenge

Home deliveries generate increasing traffic and carbon emissions in urban centres, particularly in the last mile. The solution? Pool deliveries and use electric vehicles. But cities trying to do so are discovering that this apparently simple transition requires negotiation with multiple stakeholders and a lot of innovation, as proven by the experiences of Trento (Italy) and Gotheborg (Sweden).

The charge of the electric brigade

To fight CO2 emissions, European cities from Finland to Spain are investing in fleets of electric vehicles and their charging infrastructures. More importantly, when given the chance, people are changing their personal mobility habits. Pamplona has been surprised by the enthusiastic take-up of its shared e-bike service, while Tampere’s personal mobility CO2 calculator is helping citizens to visualize and minimize the  carbon impact of their movements.
