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.
2/
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). 😬
1/ 🚨 New preprint alert!
We (@lisawarner.bsky.social @ajamesgreen.bsky.social and myself) estimated the carbon footprint of air travel associated with >20 international conferences (2023–2025) in psychology & behavioral medicine.
Spoiler: it’s a lot. 🛫🌍🧠

🌎 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?
✏️ 1/ Excited to share our new research:
"Right, left or green: what matters the most for supporting environmental policies?"
We asked: Is it your politics, or how political you think a policy is, that drives your support for environmental policies? 🌱🔵🔴
Our walking/bluetooth meeting was lovely @lauramkoenig.bsky.social despite my less sunny environment 😝! #Paris
Our global study on the state of trust in scientists is now out in Nature Human Behaviour! 🥳
With a team of 241 researchers, we surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries, providing the largest dataset on trust in scientists post-pandemic 👇🧵https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-02090-5
This new publication is very close to my green heart 🌿
It shows estimates of greenhouse gas emissions caused by travel to @European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) conferences, and offers two solutions for preserving not only human health, but also the health of the planet: (🧵1/4)
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
Travelling ✈️ to #academic #conferences can be an important source of carbon emissions (related to air travel ✈️ ) and a source of inequalities (because of visa requirements for Global South scientists 🌍 ). 1/n

Always lovely to get emails from professors who use my open textbook in their stats course. There are now 17 chapters, explaining on a slightly more conceptual level why we compute statistics and what we learn from them, with self-graded quizzes: lakens.github.io/statistical_...
Regarding climate justice, most people underestimate the carbon impacts of the richest www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I very much enjoyed giving a presentation to @institutducerveau.bsky.social about behaviour change and social psychology for promoting healthier and sustainable lifestyles (reducing 🚗, reducing 🥩 and increasing public support for climate policies 🌳)
