We are currently working to refine our estimates and would love to connect with conference organizers or participants.
It’s a collective effort to understand how academic travel impacts the planet – and what we can do about it. 🌱✈️📉

That’s why we need your help! 🙏
👉 Have you organized or attended a large (>1000 participants) conference in psychology or behavioral medicine between 2023–2025?
👉 Can you help us retrieve missing data or point us to other relevant events?
Please reach out! 💌

We relied on publicly available data from over 20 conferences to estimate travel emissions.
But there’s a catch… 🕵️♀️
Some events were hard to identify, and some organizers didn’t reply. So we might be underestimating the actual footprint.

On average, one international in-person conference visit emits 1.26 tCO2eq per researcher.
That’s 55% of the 2.3 tCO2eq annual carbon budget per person that would keep us on track with the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement (Gore, 2021). 😬

🌎 4/ Bottom line:
Feeling deeply connected to nature helps people stay committed to the environment, beyond political games.
In times of polarization, nurturing ecological identity might be key to stronger climate action... 🌿

🔍 3/ Across two studies, we found:
No environmental policy was perceived as equally likely and credible when proposed by left- or right-wing parties.
People with a 💪 ecological identity supported pro-environmental policies even when they perceived them as politically opposed to their own views.

📚 2/ We studied how political orientation and ecological identity interact to shape support for environmental policies.
➡️ Do people reject good some policies because they come from the "wrong" party?
➡️ Can a strong ecological identity to overcome this?

What a great way to start 2025 by promoting more conversation and more action about scientists' carbon footprint!

What did we learned?
- Conferences with online options 💻 had reduced emissions ↘️ compared to only on-site conferences.
- The choice of venues (e.g., cities well connected by train) can facilitate ground travel 🚂 🚌

In our last paper, @lisawarner.bsky.social, Ruvn Fleiner, Gudrun Sproesser, @ajamesgreen.bsky.social, Lucia Rehackova, Jennifer Inauen, Vera Araújo-Soares and myself, estimated the travel-related CO2eq emissions of the @ehps.bsky.social past conferences and did some projections... 2/n
