What should we do about staff air travel emissions? crowdsourcing consensus and understanding division within an Australian university
As universities grapple with reducing the climate change impacts of staff air travel, evidence is needed on the relative popularity of possible institutional approaches. This novel empirical case study offers insights from an action research process within an Australian university using Polis, an online wiki survey platform that enabled simultaneous crowdsourcing and collective evaluation of suggestions. Our in-depth qualitative-quantitative analysis of over 170 participants’ opinions spans matters of urgency and responsibility, ways to reduce lower priority flying, and mechanisms for reducing emissions from necessary flights. Opinions were diverse, with tensions between individual and institutional responsibility and disagreements over the relative priority of flight emissions reduction versus the benefits of flying. Frequent fliers and men were more likely to express resistance to change. Nonetheless, broad consensus was found on many specific initiatives and principles, indicating ‘low hanging fruit’ that may be prioritised in efforts to progress through this collective action problem.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
