If universities are to contribute their share to urgently needed and radical cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, they must tackle their dependence on air travel. Acceptance of the climate crisis is increasingly mainstream, with formal recognition by an increasing range of public bodies, including universities.
This symposium draws together international expertise from research on flying, and from experiences of initiatives aimed at reducing it. The symposium will involve the presentation of conceptual perspectives on academic flying to help to explore experiences of personal and institutional measures to reduce flying. This will inform collective discussion and reflection to develop research agendas and potential research collaborations, including as pathways to effective action.
