Abstract
Making academia more sustainable necessitates reducing emissions from academic air travel substantially. This requires a transformation of the academic system, including norms, practices, institutional rules, and framework conditions. We reflect on how the ETH Air Travel Project aims to reduce air travel at ETH Zurich while maintaining scientific excellence.
期刊介绍:
GAIA is a peer-reviewed inter- and transdisciplinary journal for scientists and other interested parties concerned with the causes and analyses of environmental and sustainability problems and their solutions.
Environmental problems cannot be solved by one academic discipline. The complex natures of these problems require cooperation across disciplinary boundaries. Since 1991, GAIA has offered a well-balanced and practice-oriented forum for transdisciplinary research. GAIA offers first-hand information on state of the art environmental research and on current solutions to environmental problems. Well-known editors, advisors, and authors work to ensure the high quality of the contributions found in GAIA and a unique transdisciplinary dialogue – in a comprehensible style.
