Memorandum of the Project Team to the World Council of Churches

For several years the WCC has conducted a study project on the future of motorised mobility. What are present trends and developments? How does the rapid expansion of motorised mobility on the road and in the air affect societies in different parts of the world? How can this expansion be kept within sustainable limits?

The present paper is an attempt to draw attention to some implications of the study project and to reflect on its relevance for the overall witness of the World Council of Churches in the coming years. On the whole, the implications of motorised mobility for the future tend to be overlooked.
