Forum Ökologisch-Soziale Marktwirtschaft
2022
The study “Using market forces for climate protection: Reform impetus for more climate protection in public finances,” proposes eleven measures which, according to the client, pursue three objectives:
The eleven measures proposed by the client will be examined with regard to their climate protection impact, their revenue potential, and their distributional effect.
Germany is in danger of failing to meet its 2030 climate targets. The “traffic light” coalition must therefore get many additional measures off the ground during this parliamentary term. The Forum Ökologisch-Soziale Marktwirtschaft has published an impulse paper in which it proposes eleven market-based measures. We have modelled the climate protection impact of five of the eleven measures and documented the estimates (see study, Annex 1).
We have provided the figures for the following measures and estimated how much they reduce CO2 emissions in each case:
Overall, on the way to the 2030 targets the eleven proposed measures can save more than 25 million tonnes of CO2 per year and have a revenue potential of more than EUR 50 billion.

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy has been funding the e-bus market ramp-up since 2018. Together with our partners, we have been investigating how effective this funding has been.
The automotive industry is undergoing fundamental change. How does this effect employment? And what will it mean for the individual professions? We investigated this on behalf of the VDA.
Mobility in Germany is becoming increasingly sustainable. However, the transport sector is yet to achieve its national and international climate targets. The ADAC Mobility Index looks at the reasons why.
Prognos evaluates the "Model Projects Smart Cities" (MPSC) funding programme as part of the Coordination and Transfer Office under the direction of the DLR Project Management Agency.
We examined an economic challenge of transformation for the mobility region.
Which carbon accounting requirements will businesses have to be aware of in the future and what, specifically, will present the greatest challenge?
What level of investment will be required to ensure a climate-neutral transport sector by 2045? We calculated this on behalf of Agora Verkehrswende, based on three scenarios.
