The current COVID-19 pandemic has placed major restrictions on mobility and international travel, which has led to many conferences being moved online or into hybrid (online and in-person) formats. In this context, Ouranos is leading a collaborative project with Dr. Blane Harvey (Assistant Professor, McGill University) to develop low carbon- and travel-intensive alternatives for academic conferencing. The study seeks to develop and test the alternative at the upcoming Adaptation Futures conference in October 2023.
We invite you to participate in a survey. The aim of this survey is to identify good practices and examples of innovation in online conferencing for the climate change and sustainability community.
Your contribution is invaluable in helping us to think about the futures of academic conferencing in a carbon-constrained world.
