Abstract:
Sustainability and the responsible use of resources receive tremendous attention by our generation, and the Paris Agreement and its resulting National Determined Contributions have a prominent role in protecting the planet we are living on and encourage the participating countries to become more environmentally friendly. I consider the change in behavior and consumption towards sustainability by individuals but also by companies and states an essential part of moving forward as a society. Thus, the project evaluates the effectiveness of the measures of the German government aiming at reaching the sustainability goals of the Paris Agreement.
A special focus is a regression analysis on the factors that influence the willingness to use trains and electrical vehicles.
