Some studies are already available on how the climate policy transformation affects employment in the automotive world of work. However, their focus is quite narrow, mostly only the employment effects of electromobility are considered.

Resources such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, aluminium, tin, manganese and copper are used, for instance, to produce lithium-ion batteries that power electric mobility. The extraction of these resources brings with it a number of social and environmental risks

A commitment to move to all zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales requires careful planning and coordination among many stakeholders. The members of the International ZEV Alliance commissioned and hosted four webinars on different aspects of 100% ZEV targets: the state of 100% ZEV targets, regulations to ensure the ZEV transition, working with cities to achieve ZEV targets, and the economic impacts of the ZEV transition.
