Claudia Kämper präsentierte auf dem #NKI Vernetzungstreffen am 19.6.2024 das innovative Projekt "FlyingLess". Mit http://flyingLess.de entwickeln wir praktische Lösungen zur Reduktion von Flugemissionen im akademischen Sektor. 🌱✈️ #Klimaschutz #flyingless #Wissenschaft
"Professoren und Gruppenleiter fliegen am meisten" ✈ 👩🎓
Umweltschutz in der Wissenschaft: Das Projekt will Forschungseinrichtungen dabei helfen, CO2-Emmissionen zu reduzieren.
Das Projekt #FlyingLess erschien am 8.3.2024 im Wissenschaftsteil der Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung. Udo Lambrecht und Claudia Kämper vom ifeu im Interview mit Steffen Blatt.

📢 FlyingLess Toolbox online 😀Successful research, less flying. This is how it works!
The toolbox🛠️ addresses key topics and basics for reducing aviation emissions in #academia and supports you in change processes at your institution.
❓ What do you think? Which additional benefits are missing from corporate sustainability reporting #CSRD by academic institutions? 6/6
➡️ Applying for research funding with higher demand on sustainability requirements 🌱 💶 5/6
➡️ Addressing scientists and students 🧑🔬 👩🎓 who consider sustainabilty in their choice of insititution 🏛️ Additionally, it can serve as a catalyst for integrating sustainability into the curriculum and research activities 4/6
➡️ Process of reporting triggers discussion and creates networks of stakeholders 🙋♀️ 🙋 🙋♂️ 3/6
➡️ Status quo on GHG emissions and commitment to targets 🎯 increases credibility. It also enables data-driven decision making for efficiency and cost savings 2/6
➡️ Taking responsibility by describing fields of action ☝️ This highlights the awareness concerning political targets on climate change and social demands 1/6
#Sustainability reporting is not mandatory for universities, yet. Even the new 🇪🇺 #CSRD does not include public institutions. Why is it still beneficial for #academia to report on their sustainability activities and GHG emissions?

Today we host our 2️⃣ Sounding Board meeting in Zurich 🏞️
Interestig discussions and inputs to our project are already going on 😃
Thanks to our board members✌️#flyingless #sustainable #Academia
Good projects need people who want to make a difference.
#FlyingLess (a project by @ifeu) is backed by five scientists who do just that. Susann, Jan, Caroline, Nicole and Claudia.

A lot of resources are spent on #conferences. But what really are the benefits of conference activities compared to the costs?
🎦Here you find an analysis by Nicholas Rowe

❓Do the benefits of international conferences justify their environmental costs?
To show the importance of flying for your #GHG balance, we compared emissions from:
🚗🔌1 year of driving an #ElectricCar instead of a gasoline car
✈️ Flight distances
A round-trip flight from Berlin to Brussels completely cancelled out the savings in GHG emissions 😯
