Mission & Goals
Agora Verkehrswende is a Berlin-based think tank that seeks to promote climate-friendly mobility. The Verkehrswende – the transition to a climate-neutral transport system – is embedded in a set of far-reaching climate goals and legislation. For Germany’s transport sector, this means cutting current emissions nearly in half by 2030 and eliminating all emissions by 2045. Achieving climate-neutral mobility requires a two-pronged approach. We need to make sure that the transport system is more efficient and we need to decarbonise the energy needed to run it. And it means increasing the energy efficiency of the transport system by discouraging unnecessary trips, using more environmentally friendly modes of transport (bus, train, bicycle), bundling travel, and improving vehicles and other transport technologies. Only if we pursue both strategies will we be able to create a truly sustainable transport system.
EU Legislative Interests
In Germany, the key legislation is the amended Climate Change Act of June 2021, which “enshrines in law the goal of achieving greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045”. For Germany’s transport sector, this means cutting current emissions nearly in half by 2030 and eliminating all emissions by 2045. What is more, the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is tied to other important concerns such as social justice, freedom, economic efficiency, health, environmental protection and quality of life. In this sense, the Verkehrswende (transport transformation) is also a Fairkehrswende (just transport transformation). In this context, Agora Transport Transformation is interested in the Green Deal and the Clean Industrial Deal.
