"Big steps for a smaller footprint: Effectively reducing emissions from academic travel" - is the name of the project aimed on reducing climate impact.
To reach the goals of reduced climate emissions from travel and emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, more focus is needed on behavioral changes in academia. The project team wants to analyze existing travel statistics from the university at large and from three travel-heavy departments (Biology, Physics and LUCSUS), to then identify the most appropriate measures and discuss travel patterns. It is also important to identify barriers to sustainable choices. By understanding these factors, each institution can develop a travel policy tailored to its specific needs while helping to reduce the university's climate impact.
