Although emissions from air travel at Lund University have slightly decreased compared to last year*, longer journeys remain a major source of emissions. Now, a group of five researchers from different departments is tackling the challenge of shifting travel norms and reducing air travel with fresh perspectives.
Funded by the University's Sustainability Fund ("Hållbarhetsfonden"), the project, ‘Big steps for a smaller footprint: Effectively reducing emissions from academic travel’, will analyse travel data and behaviours to identify concrete strategies for reducing academic air travel.
