WBCSD mobility report attracts fire from NGOs

Mobility 2001, the recent sustainable transport report prepared for the
WBCSD Sustainable Mobility Project, has come under fire from some of the
leading Non-Governmental Organisations working in the field, although they
acknowledged the report was not unduly biased towards interests of the auto
and oil industries. The NGOs broadly welcomed the report as a snapshot of
the current sustainable mobility debate. But they said the report failed to
break new ground, was too US-centric in its conclusions and missed the
opportunity to explain Business views on a range of crucial issues.

Mobility report authors answer critics

The authors of Mobility 2001, the sustainable transport report produced for
the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, have defended their
work in the face of criticism from a Non Governmental Organisation. They say
that the report was designed to provide a launch pad for more radical work
by business in the field of sustainable mobility and that the first tangible
results of that work would emerge in a second report due to be published at
the end of next year.
