The global economy is facing a wide range of changes and significant risks. On the one hand, demand for industrial products and energy is increasing dramatically, while on the other hand, the destructive effects of industrial activities on the environment and the limitation of natural resources make it difficult for societies to move in this direction. In this regard, in this issue of “Metals News” monthly magazine, three fundamental issues have been assessed.
The first part belongs to the automotive industry. This industry is considered one of the manifestations of technology in human life whose activists by offering innovative and distinctive products try to respond to demand of the consumer market, which is affected by global megatrends that are rapidly expanding and evolving.
In the second part, the issue of resource constraints is examined. The world population has increased by about 2 billion people in the past 25 years, which is more than the total increase in the world population from the beginning of human existence to the beginning of the 20th century. On the other hand, the modernization of societies and changes in people’s lifestyles are another factor in increasing the demand for goods and products, increasing pressure on resources, and creating environmental challenges.
The final section addresses the issue of nuclear energy, which has provided between 4% and 7% of the world’s energy in a sustainable, affordable, and clean manner over the past two decades.
