Students:Robert Ach-Hübner 2

Hello! My name´s Robert. I am 23 and I come from Brno. I am in the first year of my master studies of Economic Policy and International Relations at Masaryk University. My hobbies are music, singing and playing guitar, sports or reading newspapers:)

Regarding my expectations about the spring school, I hope to learn more about ways of incorporating aspects of sustainability into my daily life. Also, I´d like to discover more about the economic dimension of sustainability. For example, I wonder if market forces are able to ensure a decent level of sustainability once some crucial resources become scarce, or if we have to find completely new ways in order to make good living conditions for further generations.

I´d like to tell you about a project in Brno which is called CIVITAS ELAN. It is a part of series of projects focused on promoting more sustainable transportation in the city. The three particular aims set for the project include 1) optimization of energy consumption of public transport vehicles 2) introducing of three electro-minubuses 3) extension of possibilities of transportation of bicycles in public transport vehicles. Other projects from this series are called Trolley, CIVITAS 2MOVE2, CH4LLENGE and aim to promote using public transport instead of cars, cycling etc.
