The aim of this project is to support the BMWK with scientifically sound decision-making aids and to represent these within the government and expert committees (e.g. Expert Council for Climate Issues) or to prepare them for the public in a suitable manner (e.g. via policy papers or websites and social media contributions). The core of the scientific work lies in analysing specific political instruments (bundles) and framework conditions that have an influence on the development of the transport sector in Germany and its GHG emissions. This includes national (see discussion above) and EU-wide legislation (e.g. reviews of the instruments adopted in the Fit for 55 package and possible impetus from the discussions on the EU targets for 2040). International climate protection legislation for maritime and air transport can also have an influence on national transport through its regulations and, in our view, should be analysed as necessary.
