Agora Transport Tranformation gGmbH

Think tanks and research institutions

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.
