Marion Vieweg joined Agora Verkehrswende in June 2024. She is mainly concerned with the economic aspects of the transport transition and its social impacts. She analyses how policy instruments, such as the impact of CO2 pricing on fossil fuels, can be designed in a socially just way or how effects can be mitigated.
Previously, Marion worked as a freelance consultant on various energy and transport issues, mainly in an international context, including for the UNFCCC Secretariat, the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ) and the Sustainable Low Carbon Transport Partnership (SLOCAT). From 2011 to 2014, she worked at Climate Analytics, where she managed the Climate Action Tracker and supported the Association of Small Island States (AOSIS) and the Least Developed Countries (LDC) Group in the UNFCCC negotiations. The analysis of policy instruments and their effectiveness has always been a central theme. Marion Vieweg studied economics at the University of Hohenheim and holds a Master of Science in Energy Economics from the University of Koblenz-Landau.
