Ranno, Anna,

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 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.
