National decarbonisation strategies in the transport sector: the example of Germany

In this webinar Christian Hochfeld, Director of Agora Verkehrswende, provided a detailed insight into the decarbonisation strategy of Germany’s transport sector and the intention behind Agora Verkehrswende – Transforming Transportation. The initiative was a division of the non-profit organisation Smart Energy for Europe Platform (SEFEP) gGmbH. Its shareholders are Stiftung Mercator and the European Climate Foundation.
