Flying Less in Academia, a resource guide from Ryan Katz-Rosene and multiple contributors (including ourselves), has dozens of links, organized into helpful sections, including:
- virtual conferencing,
- implications of the pandemic,
- petitions and pledges,
- institutional policies,
- media coverage, and
- the science of aviation and climate change.
Around the world, there is a wonderful growing network of related initiatives:
- Time To Explane, a network of students, staff, and faculty on aviation issues (our partner on the update Travel Petition in 2021).
- No Fly Climate Sci, an inspiring collection of first-person accounts from scientists are researchers at all stages of transformation, curated by non-flying climate scientist Peter Kalmus (author of Being the Change).
- Stay Grounded, an international movement focused on the climate impact of aviation.
- Flight Free, an initiative offering annual non-flying pledges (with affiliated sites for different countries such as Flight Free UK and Flight Free USA).
- Greener Academia, a rapidly growing “change” petition for lower-carbon academic conferencing, with support from Scientists for the Future.
- Fridays for Future, the youth climate strike movement inspired by Greta Thunberg (whose own adventures in non-flying climate leadership make terrific cinema).
- Currently, a climate-oriented weather service organized by the non-flying farseeing meteorologist Eric Holthaus (author of The Future Earth).
- The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research includes coverage of aviation and shipping (and non-flying scientist Kevin Anderson is a great source on the role of academia in helping countries meet Paris targets).
- FlyingLess.de, a German and European initiative to reduce flying in academia with useful guides to institutional travel policies and measurement tools.
