Soriano Responds to the XII Global Climate Change Forum in Zurich as Climate Policy Tightens
Examining the impact of electric mobility on urban design and global emissions, showcasing business strategies for sustainable growth. Soriano to Deliver Keynote at the XII Global Climate Change Forum in Zurich
The global momentum behind electric mobility is redefining urban planning and investment as countries accelerate strategies to cut transport emissions. This shift has been underscored by a surge in high-level gatherings, where e-mobility and smart infrastructure feature prominently in the conversation about sustainable growth. A new chapter will unfold at the XII Global Climate Change Forum in Zurich this September, offering a focal point for examining business and policy responses to climate imperatives.
Executive voices such as Marco Antonio Soriano, founder of Soriano Motori Corp, are drawing attention to the practical integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into city life and infrastructure. ‘Attendees will gain firsthand insight from Soriano on how e-mobility and smart infrastructure can reshape urban life, reduce global emissions, and empower communities toward a cleaner future’, said Edward Gilchrest, Senior Electrical Engineer at S9. The forum will serve as a platform for investors, policymakers and industry leaders to exchange research and solutions for sustainable mobility, energy transition and circular economy models.
Electric Mobility’s Impact on Global Emissions and Urban Design
Electric vehicles are proving essential for governments seeking measurable progress on net-zero targets. In 2023, over 220 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions were avoided due to EV adoption, a substantial increase from 80 million in 2022 according to the latest global market analysis. More than 10 million electric vehicles were sold worldwide last year, and today’s battery EVs typically emit just half the lifetime emissions of internal combustion engine (ICE) models. This transition is especially urgent for heavy-duty transport, which while accounting for only 10% of ICE vehicles, produces 70% of ICE-related CO2 emissions (IEA data).
In the context of urban design, smart infrastructure for charging and vehicle integration has become a business necessity rather than a distant ambition. Forecasts from the Oliver Wyman Forum estimate that by 2035, digital mobility services – a category including electric mobility scooters and connected transport solutions – will generate $610 billion in annual revenue, compared to $42 billion in 2023 (). The commercial significance is reinforced by the rapid growth in segments such as electric scooters and mobility scooters for adults, with demand rising across Europe and Asia.
