The conference’s location is very important regarding its CO2 footprint. See https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0066508 …. Splitting global conferences into several regional ones could help a lot in reducing the travel-related CO2 emissions.

It is of course possible to attend remotely but human nature then means that day to day responsibilities still need to be met. If a talk is less interesting you get up and do something else…

To some extent, I'd say aiming for less academic travelling will strengthen places like
@dagstuhl where diving into the deep of a topic with the right set of people is more relevant than publishing a collection of papers. It's not about stopping flying, but reducing it.Hvala. Twitter će to iskoristiti za poboljšanje vaše vremenske crte. PoništiPoništi
