Business air travel is one of the most significant sources of emissions at UBC both in volume and in per-capita intensity, making it an issue of both environmental importance and climate justice. UBC’s Climate Action Plan 2030 sets the goal of reducing business air travel emissions by 50% below 2019 levels.
Learn about the environmental impact of UBC’s emissions from business air travel, how they are distributed across the community, and how we measure and quantify them.
Taking actions to reduce air travel emissions can be done at all levels: from individual travelers (and non-travelers) to Departments to Executives, find out here what you and your team can do.
Academic Air Travel is a fascinating and challenging area of study. Find out more about it and about how other institutions are working to address it here.
