    Over the last years, the Deutsche Bahn’s Umweltforum (environmental forum) has firmly established itself as the central platform for sustainable mobility. Once a year, decision makers from the political sphere, civil society, the business world and the science realm meet in Berlin to discuss current challenges, expectations and developments in green mobility: How should mobility be shaped in times of climate change? What are the main drivers of innovation? What might concrete solutions for sustainable mobility look like?

    Umweltforum 2021

    The Deutsche Bahn Umweltforum 2021 was held on 7 October, in the St. Elisabeth Church in Berlin.
