University of Basel: Air travel – „less for more“

The “less for more” project adopted by the University of Basel aims to reduce the University's emissions due to air travel. The project focuses on the development of decentralized reduction measures in order to take into account the different cultures of subject areas in research and teaching.

"The University of Basel is committed to sustainability and has already incorporated it into its objectives as an educational and research institution. Given that air travel is responsible for half of all the university’s greenhouse gas emissions, it’s vital that we now use our skills to deliver on our commitments and achieve a discernible reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions."
Prof. Dr. Jens Gaab, Associated Vice President for Diversity and Sustainability
