I petition universities and institutions of higher education:

  •    to include all university-related flying in their environmental impact measurement;
  •    to support virtual conferencing and low-carbon forms of transport for faculty, staff, and students;
  •    to set ambitious goals for emissions reductions in line with the cuts suggested by climate science; and
  •    to use their influence with professional associations and funders to reduce flying and promote alternatives to flying.

, I petition academic professional associations:

  •   to report the environmental impact of their meetings;
  •   to support virtual conferencing and low-carbon forms of transport for meetings;
  •   to set ambitious goals for emissions reductions in line with the cuts suggested by climate science; and
  •   to work with members to meet key professional objectives in ways that do not require flying.

, I petition research funders:

  •   to include all flying by grantees and staff in their environmental impact measurement;
  •   to promote virtual meetings and low-carbon forms of transport for grantees and staff;
  •   to set ambitious goals for emissions reductions in line with the cuts suggested by climate science; and
  •   to use their influence with universities and professional associations to reduce flying.

, I pledge myself:

  •   to stop unnecessary flying;
  •   to use virtual conferencing and lower-carbon transportation as alternatives to flying;
  •   to promote fairness in emissions reductions by supporting steeper reductions for senior researchers and frequent flyers; and
  •   to speak up with my peers in universities and professional associations for lower-carbon alternatives to flying.
