Please note that we will be asking all F2F participants to upload proof of carbon offsetting on any interstate travel. This documentation will serve to support us in post-conference reconciliation of our estimated and actual carbon emissions.
For those who are drawing on university conference funding, it is our hope that you will include the cost of offsetting in your application. At some institutions, this will be business as usual. At others, this act might spark some needed conversations.
