Achieving the agreed climate targets by 2030 requires urgent and fundamental changes in the transport sector, as well as a rethinking of its structures. “Thinking things through with the end goal in mind is not a bad approach, in politics as in other areas,” says Volker Wissing. But what does the Federal Minister of Transport have in mind as the “end state” for the future of mobility? What are federal, state and local governments contributing to this change? Futurium Director Stefan Brandt on the new series of talks: “Futurium has increasingly become a place for debate on issues concerning the future. I’m all the more pleased that we’ve been able to win over Federal Minister Wissing for the first edition of ‘Let's talk about...’. Politics has a decisive role to play in shaping and steering the mobility transition. Therefore, we’re interested in hearing first-hand from Volker Wissing about how we’re going to proceed along the extremely challenging path towards a climate-neutral transport sector.”
About the format:
Several times a year, Futurium Director Dr Stefan Brandt will be inviting an exceptional guest to join him on our new talk series Let’s talk about… What all of the talk guests have in common is that through their work they find themselves presented with special possibilities for shaping our future. The Governing Mayor of Berlin, Franziska Giffey, has already agreed to be our guest for the next edition of our series in February 2023.
