Wie können wir eine sozial gerechte Mobilität gestalten? (12. November 2024)
Diskussionsveranstaltung des Bündnisses sozialverträgliche Mobilitätswende, des RWI – Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung und der Stiftung Mercator
Wie können wir eine sozial gerechte Mobilität gestalten? – Aktuelle wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, und was diese für die Verkehrspolitik bedeuten
Datum: Dienstag, 12. November 2024
Ort: Leibniz-Gemeinschaft, Chausseestraße 111, Berlin
Zeit: 18 bis 20 Uhr, mit anschließendem Ausklang
Der Verkehrssektor steht vor großen Herausforderungen im Zuge der Mobilitätswende. Eine der relevanten Fragen dabei ist, wie dieser Wandel ökologisch und zugleich sozial gerecht gestaltet werden kann.
Dazu laden das Bündnis sozialverträgliche Mobilitätswende, das RWI – Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung und die Stiftung Mercator zur Diskussionsveranstaltung ein. Das Bündnis sozialverträgliche Mobilitätswende bringt dabei konkrete Forderungen zu einer gerechten Mobilitätswende aus der gesellschaftlichen und politischen Arbeit ein, während das RWI – Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus der evidenzbasierten Mobilitätsforschung beiträgt. Gemeinsam möchten wir einen Raum für offenen Dialog schaffen und eine spannende Paneldiskussion ermöglichen. Unsere Panelisten beleuchten das Thema aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln. Hier treffen verschiedene Positionen und Interessen einer sozialverträglichen Gestaltung der Mobilitätswende aufeinander.
Dabei wollen wir zentrale Fragen in den Fokus rücken: Was zeichnet eine sozial gerechte Verkehrswende aus? Wie kann eine nachhaltige und klimaverträgliche Mobilität gefördert werden? Wie werden konkrete verkehrspolitische Maßnahmen und ihre potenziellen Reformoptionen in der Bevölkerung wahrgenommen? Welche Barrieren bestehen im Zugang zu nachhaltiger Mobilität und wie können sie überwunden werden?

Mit finanzieller Unterstützung des RWI und Grenoble Ecole de Management
Workshops 2023
WZB/RWI Workshop on Recent Advances in the Economics and Philanthropy (Berlin, Germany, June 21–23, 2023)
New approaches to research on philanthropy have deepened the understanding of giving behavior. They include the ascent of field experiments on fundraising where charities are perceived as active parties. Others include the influence of behavioral economics on our understanding of how social interactions affect donations. The channels through which people donate have recently changed as well. For example, the role of online activities like donation-based crowdfunding is increasing. The emergence of big data and machine learning enables identifying and targeting individual’s charitable tastes. There are still many open questions and finding answers to them requires new approaches. This workshop aims to bring together scholars in order to foster exchange on new methods in charitable giving research and strengthen the network between researchers in Europe and overseas.
