As we shift gears toward a greener future, countries worldwide are setting deadlines to phase out petrol and diesel carsโmany aiming for 2035 or even earlier! ๐ฃ๏ธโณ This monumental shift is steering us toward cleaner air, quieter streets, and a healthier planet for generations to come. ๐๐จ
But what does this mean for drivers and car enthusiasts? ๐๐ Get ready to embrace electric vehicles, hybrids, and the future of sustainable transport! Traditional car culture might evolve, possibly becoming an underground niche like in the movie Demolition Man.
In fact, change could come even sooner than 2035! The United Nations has called for a Summit of the Future this September, from the 20th to the 23rd, 2024. This landmark event aims to address the urgent need for global action to achieve zero emissions by 2030. ๐
As we approach these deadlines, governments are likely to accelerate their efforts toward more significant change. Consider the transition from horse-drawn carriages to vehiclesโit took about 30 to 40 years. But this time, with technologies like:
๐ง Artificial Intelligence
๐ Automationย
๐ค Roboticsย
๐ฌ Nanotechnologyย
The potential for rapid transformation is enormous.
These advancements present exciting opportunities for the future of work ๐ผ, investments ๐ฐ, startups ๐, and beyond.
