The Commons Project Foundation and the World Economic Forum has announced the global expansion of the CommonTrust Network to cover 32 countries spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas.
As countries seek to relax border restrictions, quarantines and lock-downs, they need a more reliable, trustworthy and efficient way to validate the health status of incoming travelers.
Even with low passenger volumes, airports around the world have been plagued with long lines as airline staff and border guards scrutinize easily forged paper-based test and vaccination certificates.
Health pass apps and QR codes can help, but only if the test results or vaccination records they contain are verifiable and come from trusted sources.

Bengaluru, March 16 : In order to address global warming, the adoption of circular economy practices combined with accelerated electrification in the automotive industry has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 75 per cent by 2030, a new Accenture-World Economic Forum (WEF) report said on Tuesday.
The move can also help cut non-circular resource consumption by up to 80 per cent per mile by 2030.
According to an Accenture analysis, mobility demand - in terms of both passenger miles and predicted vehicle stock - is expected to increase 70 per cent globally in the next decade.

The adoption of circular economy practices combined with accelerated electrification in the automotive industry has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% and non-circular resource consumption by up to 80% per mile by 2030, according to a report from Accenture (NYSE: ACN), the World Economic Forum, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
The report, “
Raising Ambitions: A new roadmap for the automotive circular economy,” is based on an Accenture analysis that finds mobility demand in terms of both passenger miles and predicted vehicle stock is expected to increase 70% globally by 2030. The automotive industry can prepare for this demand, while also decarbonizing to contribute to limiting global warming to less than 1.5°C, by achieving circularity through the lens of energy, water, waste, materials, vehicle lifetime and use.
