Valerie Katthagen

Position: Advisor Transport and Climate Change
Location: Germany, Berlin

Since 2021 I am part of the GIZ Transport Team, mainly responsible for communications, public relations as well as event management for the Transport and Climate Change Week. Since 2025 I am Advisor for Transport and Climate Change with a focus on international transport decarbonisation.

I studied International Relations in Münster and Amsterdam and am holding a Master’s degree in International Development Studies from the University of Vienna. Before joining GIZ I worked in the field of environmental protection and international marketing.

Decarbonising transport isn’t just a climate issue – it’s a social one; therefore I am eager to help creating a future where sustainable mobility is accessible to all.
