Nationwide environmental and transport congress
The National Environment and Transport Congress (BUVKO) is a German congress on the subject of the environment and transport , at which scientists, environmental and transport associations and an interested public come together. It emerged in 2001 from the Citizens' Initiative Transport Congress (BIVKO) and takes place every two years in a different city. Aspects such as soft mobility , mobility management or sustainable transport policy are dealt with.
history
In 1978 citizens' initiatives from Berlin organized the first BIVKO out of a desire to collaborate with other initiatives. At the congress, nationwide contacts could soon be made with scientists and other people active in transport policy . As the percentage of citizens 'initiatives among the participants decreased and more and more scientists and representatives from administrations, associations and political parties took part, the citizens' initiative traffic congress was renamed the nationwide environmental and traffic congress in 2001. The BUVKO is organized by the two associations Umkehr eV and FUSS eV
In addition to representatives from associations, ministries and administrations, the speakers also include well-known transport and environmental scientists, for example Hermann Knoflacher , Karl Ganser , Udo Becker , Dirk Zumkeller and Heiner Monheim . The BUVKO is also respected by politics, as the former Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel described the BUVKO as "an essential link between NGOs in the environment and transport sector and scientists, administrations and politics"
