Senior Researcher at Hamburg University of Technology | Germany

Philine Gaffron is Senior Researcher at Hamburg University of Technology and can live out her passion for a socially just transformation of the mobility system through her work at the Institute for Transport Planning and Logistics. Philine knows that social inclusion and participation often require mobility, which shows the need to make it affordable and possible for everyone, since it clearly isn’t yet. At the same time, most (European) countries fail to reduce GHG emissions from the transport sector, which causes the urgency to proactively transform the mobility system to meet ambitious CO2 reduction targets. To manage this, Philine is convinced that we need honest, goal-oriented discourse and a broad consensus.
