An important part of the European and international work of the Senate Department for Urban Mobility, Transport, Climate Action and the Environment is its membership of and involvement in European and international networks. Accordingly, we participate intensively in various international cooperative activities and in local and regional alliances in order to bring the interests of the Federal State of Berlin into the political process at the European and international level and to exchange ideas and experience with other cities and regions.
In doing so, we can of course learn from the experiences of others and can also share information about our own successes and the challenges we face. An equally important aspect of such networking activity is the constant exchange that takes place regarding technical and political developments in our areas of responsibility.
The Federal State of Berlin also works together with other cities in order to bring our shared standpoints to bear in European decision-making processes. This helps to add weight and potency to local authority interests. After all, if our good arguments are put forward collectively, they are more persuasive. To this end, we put together joint policy documents with other cities, for example, pool our energies and resources, and amplify the impact of our actions.
