Flying less in academia - towards a carbon neutral academic climate

Activity: Organising and attending an event › Organising and contributing to an event › Academic

Description

Academics around the world have been grounded by the COVID crisis. They can no longer fly around the world for research and conferences. This provides an opportunity to rethink the habits of academic air travel. Are the carbon emissions of academic air travel becoming too high? If so, how can they be reduced? Who should take charge?

In an online webinar, De Jonge Akademie will present the findings of their report into the carbon footprint of academic air travel and invite you to participate in a debate on how to achieve a more carbon-neutral academic climate.
